Re: One more trip with my 170B ?
Windy.com is a really interesting website with multiple-layers of info. On short-range flight planning I use AirNav.com and check AWOS at nearby and enroute fields…. BUT… don’t forget to check NOTAMS https://www.notams.faa.gov/dinsQueryWeb/ ForeFlight and Fly-Q are favorite pre-flight briefing sourc...

Re: RPM at Run-Up and take-off Roll
I think “static” RPM should be checked in “static” conditions at sea-level, standard atmosphere. This would be in a No Wind condition…which is what Cessna is attempting in that procedure. Tachometers in these airplanes are typically mechanical and prone to IN-accuracies and their mounted positions c...

Re: C170B Fuel Selector Valve
Replaced mine with McFarlane last year. Tremendous pain the rear to remove and reinstall. Then I hit my stride and trying one more time installed it in about 90 seconds. Wish I could remember what I did! 8O You must have yourself on “fast-forward” to do that in 90-secs…. 90-mins is more like it…. I...

Re: Fuel Flow transducer installation
Aircraft Spruce sells very good quality gaskets which work good and last a long time and are very inexpensive: They are labelled for gas cap gaskets…but they are correct for original gascolators and oil filler cap gaskets also. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fuelFlange3.php?clickkey=...

Re: Tring to figure out what this item is on back middle of Piano Key
If the auto-reset breaker still works…I’d keep it. You certainly can replace it with a common breaker OR fuse…just log it, IMO.
Auto-reset C.B.s are not expensive.

Re: Tring to figure out what this item is on back middle of Piano Key
Are you certain power to it is THRU the landing light switch..? It should have it’s power supplied continuously…. not only when the land/light switch is activated. Perhaps it’s wired/sourced on the “hot” buss side of that switch?

Re: 6 Bolt Bullet Spinner?
The C-172 A,B,C models (SNs 46755 thru 49544) utilized AN8-4A bolts (undrilled) for the prop/spinner which were threaded into MS20365-820C self-locking nuts. Note the spinner assembly for those SNs. (The C170B actually used a different spinner with the original 8-bolt prop…the dome of-which was a “l...
