  • If you liked the results of adding the 29" ABW you will like the BBW the same. It really takes a lot of the rattle out of the tail when you landing on large gravel or rocks, and the extra flotation is nice on soft ground to. As for tail springs I here the L-19 is the way to go you need to pull one...

  • This got my curiosity going to. The front seat in my 53 appears to be complete and original and it weights 16 lbs. I also have a couple 170 seats that I stripped all springs and covering off of then bead...

    Years ago I bought my prop from a local shop, then bought the STC from Kenmore Air Harbor I think for $100. (http://www.kenmoreairharbor.com/uploads/9/6/8/3/9683162/sa111nw_ref.pdf) Might be worth giving...

    The 1A175DM8042 was the best thing I did to my c-145 powered 170. It flew 100mph 2450 if I remember right Paul

  • N419A replied in forum topic Paint stripper???

    Gravel Bars and Sun Shine
    My first real attempt at a flying video, seams like the mountain bike and ski doo videos are easier. I guess not as much scenery.

    Gary, another thing on the stripper tryouts, if you can get small quantities of different brands of stripper, try them on the different paints on your plane. Some of those paints react differently to...

    Gary, you get that plane down to 1300lbs with that list of mods I'll be calling. :D Mine was 1301 on paper before I put the 180hp and constat speed prop on. After the engine conversion it weights in...

  • I have also had good luck with the pallet, piece of chain link fence and ski doo. The longer the pallet the better it is cutting the highs and lows, drag first with the pallet then finish with the piece...
