About the Cessna 170A

The Cessna 170 is the classic four-seat taildragger that preceded the 172 — produced 1948-1956 with a Continental O-300 (145 hp) and conventional tailwheel landing gear. The 170A and B introduced flaps and refined wings. A characterful 1950s taildragger, sought after by classic-aircraft enthusiasts and pilots who want tailwheel experience in a Cessna airframe.

Produced 1948–1956.
