I have been informed that aviation is a disease; and several family members would happily agree. I started out looking at a kit to build and really like the combination of buildability and utility of the Zenith kits. However, I have come to feel they have their tail-wheel at the wrong end so I’m now headed down the path of refurbishing a Cessna 170. It doesn’t look like the one above … probably never will. The plan is to make it airworthy and as pretty as possible in not more than 500 hours. Famous last estimates and all …

On the way

Decision Made

Hmm … Considering a 1948 Cessna 170 ragwing project
