Does any one know of an STC to put the early C180 legs on a C170B?

Also an STC to put the duel calipher Cleveland brakes on a C170B?

Thanks

"Tailwheel Tom", formerly XP Mods and now TD Aero, has an STC for using 180 gear legs. I spoke to him last night about gear legs for my 172 conversion.

EZ,

I have double-puck Clevelands and C180 gear legs on my C170B. I think the gear legs were installed using a form 337 and brakes were added with Gar-Aero Tundra Tire STC (now Alaska Tundra Tires). I also have the pponk gear beef up kit and seaplane V-brace, which are a good idea if you are going off airport with the new improved aircraft.

EZ, Did you guys discuss the latest on the titanium gear legs for a 180?
Thanks

You'll have to speak with Tom about that, we only discussed what applies to my 172 conversion. Sorry.

I just did this last year.


STC SA01756NY allows the installation of landing gear legs P/N 0741001-1 through -8, or 054118-2 through -3 on any Cessna 170, 170A, 170B, and 180.

The STC is available from:

QCR Aviation
694 St-Gregoire
Les Cedres, QC J7T 3A4
Canada
(450) 452-2567

The STC was $230 USD when I purchased it last year.

I think this is Eric LeClerc (sp?), I sent him some dimensional info off my gear legs when he was working on getting the STC. Some might think the price high for just paperwork, but considering the time & effort spent getting the STC approved I think it's very reasonable.
My old 170 had C180 gear legs & double-puck Clevelands, installed at the same time under a field approval. Considering what a hassle a field approval can be these days, the STC is indeed a real bargain at $230.

Yep, it's Eric's STC. I thought his fee ($230) was very reasonable considering how easy and quick it made the paperwork.
