Re: Dog house baffling for 170B
Does anyone have pictures of the pieces of the front portions of the Dog House baffling? No, don't take your cowling apart just for me but the Airforms pictures are not too clear. My IA has decided to reconstruct my well worn Dog House baffling and the front two pieces that go up next to the cylind...

Re: AOPA Sweepstakes aircraft: Cessna 170B
No kidding! AOPA should have done a correct restoration out of respect for the 70 year old plane, then if the new owner CHOSE to modify it, that would be an individual choice. Most of the pilots who think they are bush pilots simply because they have a prepped airplane either never fly off of paveme...

Re: Spins in old airplanes (split topic)
Exactly! That's why I got the best spin instructor I could find to teach me (lots of!) spins before I got my CFI Rating. Aerobatic champ and FAA DPE Gene Beggs from Midland, Texas who did exhaustive spin testing in the 1970s in a Pitts S-1 he built, taught me spins in my 170A and gave me my CFI Rati...

Re: AOPA Sweepstakes aircraft: Cessna 170B
I find the rudder very effective. Considering it’s the same one on C-190/ 195s, of considerably more horsepower, perhaps it’s a little too much. I note that the -170C was to have had a smaller one. Same rudder but the 195 it has a longer fuselage - a longer lever - by 3 feet or so... I have never f...

Re: Very informal study of 170 sales.
They wasted waaay too much duct tape on that repair! It would have flown with 1/4 of that tape!

Re: Very informal study of 170 sales.
No, I haven't. Mine was freshly restored with a rebuilt engine when I bought it in 1973 for $7,500. I bought it back from a friend in 2006 for $12,500, what I sold it for in 1984 but nothing had been done to it since I sold it to him. I would be lucky to sell it today for what I have in it, just cou...

Re: Black stuff on inside walls of fuselage
OK, I'll ask, how did you do it?Vertical wrote:It's about 200 hours sweating in a respirator to get it all off from tip to tail. Mine had some minor surface corrosion below it occasionally.

Re: Black stuff on inside walls of fuselage
And according to Del Lehmann at Mountain Airframe in Mena, the black stuff is insoluble in just about everything. He tried every solvent he had and was not able to dissolve it on my plane. We finally gave up and primered-over it since the little bit they mechanically removed had no corrosion underne...

Re: Tachometer inop / irregular
Remove the cable from the plane and if possible, pull the retainer clip, and pull the inner wire-wound drive cable out. Clean it up and check for any broken or worn-thru wire. If you find something wrong, buy a new cable, but if you find nothing there, then lube and reinstall and check the operation...

Re: IOWA'S 170
I really don't need anything fancy Was thinking about using the GTR 200 comm only Dave Dave- The GTR200 is not TSO'd and is for experimental aircraft. It can be approved for certified aircraft if used with certain other Garmin avionics, maybe it can be with the GNC355, you might want to check if yo...

Re: IOWA'S 170
Dave- Nice looking radio! I always turn off the radio/avionics master and usually don't turn individual radios on and off. I never turn the radio/avionics master back on until after engine start, the charging circuit shows positive charge, and the amps are decreasing. p.s. I still keep my old Garmin...

Re: Tachometer inop / irregular
Sounds like your tach cable is hanging up in the housing, winding up, and then letting go, making the needle jerk. The cable may be worn out or just needing a good clean and lube. I would check the cable first.
