You guys did a wonderful job on this restoration! All of the sweepstakes aircraft given away over the years were excellent specimens after the extra work. Whoever the winner is will enjoy this 170!
Absolutely gorgeous! A piece of art!
Love everything about this 170! You guys did a heck of a job with the resto 👏
LOVE my 1953 Super 170B!
Great job on this upgrade! Looks incredible
Absolutely stunning aircraft! Cannot wait to see where this beautiful bird ends up.
I’m imagining, I’m imagining!
Sweet! Great job! What's the cruise speed with the larger engine/CS prop?
Looks like 117 IAS in the video. Doesn't seem like much of an improvement. My guess is that with the extra drag from the wheels and the wing cuff that engine and prop basically negate those effects.
@@Saml01 Thanks, that's interesting because I've read that cuffs don't really affect top/cruise speed, only lowering stall speeds. Maybe the Alaska tires, but surprising 50hp (1/3 more than stock) didn't make a bump in cruise speed :)
It'll cruise anywhere between 115 and 135 mph IAS, depending on the power setting and how much fuel you want to burn. 115 is in the 22/23 squared range at about 8 gph, 135 is 25 squared and burning 9.5-10 gph. Prior to the upgrades, it was cruising at around 120/125 mph IAS
Sweet plane! When is the drawing? Great video!
Great job!!!
IF someone wins it the isnt tailwheel trained, does it include that training.
I’ll train them!
So beautiful.
Amazing AOPA. Whenever I hear from you guys, there’s a good chance you remind me who you are. While this choice of a giveaway should be celebrated because it’s a great classic most of us would love to own, in this time it’s just a reminder of your failures and true allegiances.
Did no one in your organization think this might remind us all that you have become the Antique Owners and Pilots Association?
Next year, how about you start a campaign to tell Cessna to go pound sand until they offer a modern replacement for the 172? They are basically cementing our current state by continuing to sell an out of date design they really don’t want to build anymore themselves.
Very Nice airplane sir !! 👌
Might it qualify under MOSAIC?
Sweet
Ummm. Yes please. 😍
Such a gorgeous plane, would be awesome to win it 😀
Where’s the AP with that IFR panel upgrade? Shame.
If I won this would be a plane I’d pass on to my son and hope he keeps it long enough to pass to his kids
I hope to win this one 😊 ,,! This giveaway will be a huge amazing surprise for someone that loves the Cessna 170
I’m holding my breath did I win it?
It’s going to be funny when the winner is a city slicker from Florida (me).
Please! Dear Santa...
Awesome updates. My husband and I are dreaming of winning 😍🏞✈
