Robbie,
I hear it updates even faster than the 396. Ifyou lost your gyros inthe clouds could you keep it right side up with the panel page?
Im taking 93D to First Flight FFA tomorrow. About 1 hr 50 minutes
See you at the flyins

Does the new type require an external antenna? It would be nice to be rid of it.
The United Nations in charge of rescueing Americans?-dont see any problems with that

Currituck County ONX has $3.25 per gallon car gas 24 hr self serve. 4000 ft and low traffic, taxi up to the pumps-quick turn

Nice toys there Bill. I think I want an old pick-up. Does it drive 'like a truck'? Im fond of power steering, brakes, etc

Really beautiful. It would look even better without the big fuselage numbers IMHO A pet peeve

Or you could stay original and forget the fire sleeve. I dont get it, all this bother to keep stains off the cowl? A solution in search of a problem?

Contrary to official 170 club history a few "A" models were delivered with factory overall paint schemes. Interestingly, in the picture I have (black and white) the base color doesnt appear to be white. Someday I hope to be able to post it

Maybe brown was the interior color. I never saw or heard of a 48 other than red or green trim on bare metal

The 150 hp o320 is a great engine-super reliable and low maintenance. I flew one for 20 years and never had a cylinder off. I used car gas mostly.

This is a controversial opinion but the Bartone/Benham exhausts seem pretty spendy for the amount of benefit unless it needs replaced anyway. You have to patch ...

Youre a pal Chuck, but Ill keep them for now. They look pretty classy from 30 feet

Sounds like good advice, Ill start asking around

Try Preferred Airparts in Ohio, if you have the part number you can check online. They had one for my 1955, it was about $440. really improved the looks of the panel. They advertize in Trade a plane

My 55 is currently wearing original metal wheel pants. They are however, lumpy enough to be annoying. Has anybody installed the Aircraft Spruce original style fiberglass pants? Looks like you can get them with the bulkheads installed, dont know about the mud scraper. Whats the process? Is the axle h...

Bruce, It was a Cherokee 140 with the hershey bar wing, aileron seals only, about 20 years ago. Crisper aileron response, especially at low speeds and seemed to pop off the ground quicker on takeoff. It wasnt my plane and didnt explore the stall behavior. Most obvious handling shortcoming of the 170...
