RESEARCH NOTES

About N10PH

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This article documents the airframe registered as N10PH, a Cessna 170B built in 1955 with serial number 26718 by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron). Public records specific to a comprehensive ownership timeline, operator or home-base history, and formal registry actions are Not published for this airframe; the only registration detail available is that it is registered in the US. Condition and valuation highlights for this particular airframe are Not published, although surviving restorations of this model commonly emphasize the conventional tailwheel configuration and period-correct restorations when assessing condition.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a 4-place cabin with a conventional tailwheel layout typical of Cessna 170B restorations and owner-held examples. Specific avionics fit, instrument panel details and interior refurbishment status for N10PH are Not published; operators of similar restorations typically install period-correct or upgraded light-general-aviation avionics suites to support VFR and light IFR capability. Typical mission profiles for this category include local and cross-country recreational flying within the aircraft’s range envelope, light utility hops and participation in vintage aircraft gatherings; base of operations for N10PH itself is Not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe type generally center on airframe corrosion checks, fabric/paint restoration for older finishes, and continued maintenance of the Continental O-300 / C-145 powerplant.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 170B occupies a niche as a postwar, fixed-wing single-engine tailwheel four-seat general aviation aircraft, valued for simple handling and modest operating costs. In performance it provides cruise speeds around 105 kts and useful cross-country range near 513 nm, competing historically with lighter four-seat tailwheel types and early tricycle-gear successors; buyers often choose these airframes for vintage appeal rather than speed. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the engine type, Continental O-300 / C-145 series, and the availability of parts and skilled restoration resources; airworthiness and cosmetic restoration level are primary drivers of market value for individual examples such as N10PH.
