1948 Cessna 170Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Donnybrook, Queensland, Australia

This 1948 Cessna 170, registration VH-KLO, is a project aircraft with a total time of 3,500 hours. The listing describes it as a piece of aviation history with fabric wings and notes it was once flown from London to Sydney in an air race. Significant work is required to return it to flying condition. The aircraft needs new flight control cables, as the existing ones have wear marks and have been cut, and it requires assembly using new AN hardware. The struts and tailplane need painting or polishing, and the undercarriage bolts may need replacement.

For power, the seller includes a complete Continental O-300C engine with 450 hours since...
