  • Your old 170 and repaired by me, then crashed when the right wheel went into a hole adjacent to the Enumclaw airport has been rebuilt again. It’s in Medford having the finishing touches done. It was rebuilt in Northern California. Now has an o 360 220 horsepower engine. It looks great.

    Scolopax Way cool! Thanks for the info! I'd love to see some pictures. I had some amazing adventures in that plane. I put a thousand hours on it and took it to a lot of great places.
