Well, I could try, but I think there's a Cirrus whispering come-hithers in his ear already.
Nice 170 corral you have there. I recently did a Lycoming IO-360 on mine. Been very pleased with it. I'll be interested to follow your new restoration thread.2015-07-16 03:52:33
Bagarre I'm thinking about selling the one thats flying and getting a twin comanche while I'm restoring the other one. Kind of crazy to have two of the same planes and it'd be nice to go fast for a while.11 years ago
