Rebirth of a Cessna 170B

Post by jwmcgu »

I just completed a rebuild project that took 22 months. I've created a little story with some pictures. You can view this on my website: meta-net.net/~jwmcgu click on "restoring the Cessna" . Ignore the items for sale, I'll put them on the trader forum.
enjoy :lol:

John,
Great story on your web site. You must be testing us with the picture of your tail wheel and spring assembly. :)

John,

Thank you for all your hard work! Due to your efforts there is one Cessna 170 on the registry that wouldn't be otherwise. :D You've just fulfilled one of the most important goals of the 170 Association: to "... engage in the preservation, improvement, and better understanding of Cessna 170 aircraft."

Through your project you've become more intimately familiar with the 170 than most of us ever will be, so please continue to follow these forums and share your knowlege and experience with us :!:
