One thing, or better two, for the mid50's 170: push lines wear out, meaning that first check inside the plane is to check locking capability of throttle (and if it is cold - heating). A worn clamp mechanism may tend to get engine power and heat down, so check them frequently (170 usually do not have the locking nut as later 172's). Besides from that - real nice to fly.
