Make sure you have enough!

The underwriter at AIG would only insure me for $42,000. I was told that there was no 170 worth over $42,000. But I should forward an equiptment list and they would see. Someone at the agency (I'll not say which one) "filed it" rather than forwarding it. A severe tail wheel shimmie in a cr...

Autopilot for 170's

Brittan makes an auto pilot for 170's that is a wing leveler coupled to the DG. Its nice when you are IFR or VFR and need to look at a map or check on the kids in the back seat. It's easy to put in and all you need is an A&P mechanic to sign it off, as it's STC'd. As my aircraft has been damaged...

STC for Powerflow

Pete I looked on the web site for Power flow and they do not seem to have a STC for the 170. Did you go the 337 route? Do you have a copy of the 337? Thanks Tom

The Javlin tank is a must in a Lycoming Powered 170. With a C-145 you have to think about it as the range and load is well matched. Mine came as a kit for a Cessna 175. But it went right into the 170 A except it came with a 24 volt pump so I had to buy a 12 volt and yes it is approved as item #113 o...
