C-170B IPC pg. 162 figure 104 (Hoisting provisions) sez it all!!

Bruce, You know that Cessna is in somewhat of a corner as the TCDS contains float approval and the IPC contains part references. How they can claim that it as proprietary information stumps me.

I think some light twins have had baggage compt door pop open with crashes as well. Fly the plane Dudes!!

As I understand it "Lady Legs" were developed as a "softer" gear to improve landing outcomes. The 180/185 legs are thicker (Stiffer) they accommodate heavier engines in the 170's however being thicker (IF) "P" Ponk kit is installed before hand they (The new legs) won't ...

Do your research. Many cylinders have AD notes.
