I sold my Super 170B and the buyer in Texas does not need skis :). These are in very fine condition with poly bottoms. Hydraulic pump included. Front and rear cables included. Gear axles with the...

Hello all, We are in search for a propeller P/N B2D34C218-B/G-90DHB-8. This is a two-bladed constant speed prop for a Cessna R182. We will purchase outright, prefer serviceable as removed, used,...

I would like to change to a ram style control wheel in my 1955 C170B. It seems Cessna shared the same shaft dimensions with many other mfrs at the time. See what you have in your junk piles. Condition...

I did a quick scan of this thread... always good to see how others are doing a refurb! I saw a quick post about a 180hp upgrade for the 170. Is there an active STC for putting a 180hp engine in a straight...

The widow frames in the doors of the 170 are heavy steel. The 180/185 used alum. The size is the same. John

After owning several planes of completely different styles, I found myself most fond of the 170 I had several years ago. The 170 has fantastic visibility due to the high wings and low panel. It is easy...
