| This checklist has been derived and expanded from the POH of a 1952 Cessna 170B. I have compiled quite a few checklists and would be glad to send one to you for the cost of reprint, lamination, postage, and my time (research may be required if I haven't already built a checklist for that type airplane). If you're interested, email me: squawk1200@comcast.net |
