Firstly there seems enough room between the G5 and the original control column . So which G5 was fitted ?. The STC one or the experimental one. Looking at the legal sense which instruments had to remain? Due to the lack of overhaul components in my part of the world I am wanting to remove all vacuu...

I had been asked abut my current panel mods and so am attaching this picture to show the current instrument panel.

I have edited the previous post with a new picture and comment.

I have both a Spot and an ACR link. I used the spot so that Phyllis could track me when I went flying. She enjoyed seeing where I was going and I could send I'm safe messages. But it does not use the satellite chain, and it can not be received in some shadowed under tree or mountains ranges. The ACR...

Pictured is the modified 1997 Cessna 172 control column as modified be Chris at Del-Air. Next to it is the old section of the original Cessna 172 control column. The 172 control column was cut down so that with the new lower section welded in, the dimension from the yoke shaft center line to the piv...

In the barnstormers add it has a 160 HP Lycoming engine installed not a 180 HP. What it does not have in the add is that it has a cowl flap. Obvious from the pictures in the add. It has a fixed pitch prop, float fittings, and another prop an 80/41 with the airplane for float plane use. I have to won...

Edited from WIKI article 170[edit] In late 1948 Cessna began sales of the 170, with a metal fuselage and tail and fabric-covered constant-chord wings. These earliest 170s were four-seat versions of the popular 140 with a more powerful 145 hp (108 kW) Continental C145-2 and larger fuel tanks. Like th...

Received the 175 Control column yesterday that I am going to use to have Del Air (Chris) modify for the center stack radio installation. I made a full size drawing last night of the differences with all of the pulleys' sprockets and connections to get an understanding of the changes and to later hel...

Initially I will just fit my KY97A com, audio panel and my old Narco Nav/Com, STX transponder and maybe a dock for my iFly 740B GPS. What I really looking forward to is getting the flight and engine instruments is a common sense location also I would like to install a second Garmin G5. I might try t...

What did I Buy for my 170A this week or rather what did I decide to do to my 170A/210 HP airplane? Center stack radios. Say it isn’t so. Well as modified airplanes go I have nothing to lose except AMU’s (Aircraft Monetary Units) $$$$. With 210 Horse Power, Constant speed 80 inch prop and 180 landing...

I got all of mine from an aircraft salvage yard at a much reduced cost from out of late model Cessna 172's all bearing pullys

I found a pair of cylinders on Ebay with new seals, lubed and complete with a logbook sticker saying what they are and what was done to them, signed by the A&P that did the work. They look great and arrived in three days. I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Now to get them installed and bled to...

I had the same issue with these older style of master cylinders. Cessna Brake Plunger edited PRS.jpg In the picture I have attached the black arrow points at the o-ring. When you actuate the brake the o-ring has to slide up the shaft and close the holes in the washer indicated by the green outlined ...

I see that the NAS 147 bolt is a carryover from the C-140. There the landing gear attach structure is welded steel rather than aluminum castings. I have no idea but perhaps the yield strength of the NAS bolt was more compatible with that steel attach structure and later, on the the 170A, Cessna dec...

Just add to the conversation: The link below is and earlier post concerning landing gear box repair and damage. It has multiple pictures of the damage caused to my airplane when the previous owner had a relatively minor ground loop and tripped over the left main gear which ripped out the door post g...
