Re: Aluminum Spot Welding
All of the trailing edges of the flight controls on my 48 are spot welded, no rivets (rudder, flaps, ailerons). Seems to be a somewhat "structural part". I have been thinking about the day I do a restoration and replace the skins, how to maintain the authentic spot welded look.

Re: Portable Stretcher Installation Observations
So I'd appreciate if we take a pole. How many 170s have this hole in the bracket? All of them? Or maybe only those that had the stretcher option installed. Can't wait to get this response.[/quote] Bruce Even though my seat has been modified my seat latch does not have the hole. Either the seat is fr...

Re: C170 door hinges availability
I see posts about hinge repairs and improvised hinge pins and wonder why not just purchase a replacement? Perhaps there are none. So my question becomes how many different door hinges have appeared on the C170. From 1948 to 1955-56? Do 1958 - 1963 Cessna 172 hinges fit C170 retroactively? What kind...

Re: Finally, a throttle for everyone
I ordered this adapter from Mcfarlane to make my old knob work on the new throttle.

Re: hinge pins
To those of you with stainless door pins, Be aware that stanless is anodic to aluminium. (will cause corrosion on the aluminim) The old boys that built this aircraft knew what they were doing when they used brass wire for the hinge. Sure it wears out fast, but brass wire is far cheaper than a heat ...

Re: Throttle Cable Interference
Mcfarlane has the wedge spacer it is Part Number EC89 I used two of them one on the inside and one on the outside of the pannel. It moved the throttle cable away fron the control column very effectively. As I remember it was difficult to get the spacer wedges aligned while tighetening the nut.

Re: Snapping sound from tail cone assembly
Mine does this as well. I have the old style smaller bent tailwheel mount (I need to upgrade). I always assumed it was either a crack under the tailwheel mount at a rivet hole or a loose rivet and the skin is sliding on the rivet. Both situations are not so good. I always do a through preflight of t...

Re: VG installation with STOL kit
I usually don’t post advice on the forum but I just could not let this one slide. Installing more than one wing mod has the potential to overstress the wing during gust or maneuvering, because it lowers the maneuvering speed below an airspeed that you would be willing to fly in normal cruise. The ...

Re: Tire drag
Are you using Tach hours or stopwatch hours for the fuel calculation? That could make a big difference.

Airworthiness directives
I am looking for a comprehensive list of AD's that apply to a 1948 170. I have been looking the FAA web site , but the search tool is garbage. I get stuff that does not apply to my airplane, accessories are sometimes under the old name and sometimes the new name. The dated AD's have a 4 digit year s...
