The International Cessna 170 Association

Been out of the loop for quite awhile. How did the Ennis trip go. Great place, the Madison Valley and the Gallatin Valley are great! A tremendous aviation family there. Lots of good times & good friends there. If you haven't found them, let me know.

Well I still have not gotten this picture thing worked out!

Hope this comes through, the pic of the panel. Just got the first upgrade to the avionics (that skyhawk mentioned). More to come with Lynnx NGT9000 soon to be installed.[resizeimg]

Sky hawk, Been out of the loop for quite awhile. I bought this little gal from a friend that purchased her from a fellow in Ca. I am assuming your father. He told me the story but I can't remember the name. He flew to Ca. And stayed several days with him flying and learning from him. I believe he ha...

Managed to get a few minutes of play time with the new mods. Weather has moved in, so it is the time of year here that we can have short windows of opportunity. Take off in 3" wet snow, 2 notches flaps, w/ 8:50's, 350' ! Was easy to tape those fresh tracks! I stopped at local airport & made...

I have a grass strip setting @ 3400' msl with 800' useable. On a 58 deg. day I used the majority of it (750' +) with myself & 115 lb grandson, (310#), full fuel, cruise prop, etc. That was the deciding factor in going to eng & prop upgrade. I am still working with the new equipment, but have...

Well I am also as excited as you reading your experiences. Its one of the best mods i have done and still having fun . I have done a heap of flying and tracked all my flights into some form of data. Originally i asked many people what could i expect and had all sort of stories from your cruise spee...

Mr. Pokey, As I mentioned earlier, I am going to have to play with the "Ol Girl" some more, in fact I did today, but what I am finding so far is remarkable! I had a friend fly me up in a 210 Centurion yesterday & we were talking about how it was going to be kind of difficult for him to...

The pics may not be quite clear enough. The Garmin reads 162mph GS & the JPI reads 62 percent power.

Well the day finally arrived to be released by the "Doc" & out of the sling & headed for Belgrade, Mt! Had a date with 2218B, & brought her home. I will try & attach a couple of pics, sometimes it works & sometimes it don't. (For Me) One will be of the previous owner &a...

Stoots STC As far as Daves kit, the biggest issue that "we" ran into was pre-made hoses not the right length, belt for alternator wrong & wrong size oil cooler. Dave did resend or had replacement parts right away. That was really the size of it. In talking to both the mechanics ( one r...

A few more shots of my girl!

Thanks Jim. Been following your project, very impressive. Hope to get a chance to see it up close some day.

Thanks, I believe I will!

N2218B took to the air today! First flight went very well. Rpm's a little low & needs a little tweak, but all temps & pressures good. Went easy on take off, about 90% power, clean, left to pavement in about 500', 49 degrees & 4knts wind @ 4400' elev. Climbed out at 90 mph to 7500'. Full ...
