Nice pictures! It's easy to tell which one has 172 mufflers.

You know Dave your plane in that picture is just as special but in a different way than Steve Jacobson's award winning 170A.

I really appreciate Steve's commitment. But if you can't make a cloths line out of your airplane, and enjoy it with your kids, what do you really have?

Your camping shot is the best. Wish I was there.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

I hope someone mentioned the possibilites of rudder damage that can occur with that rudder gust lock to N2734C (although that's marginally better than the type that grabs the counter-balance area.)

The white and dark red 170B with the doors open is mine. Dave, it was Custom Classic Runner Up. Fancy name for 2nd place. Just finished a 4 yr restoration on it. I'm slow. Spare time work therapy project. Lot of credit goes to this forum for help when I needed it and correction when I needed to do it again right!
