Re: 1948 Rag Wing Inspection Holes
If anyone has a 48, can you post a picture of the rear trailing edge strut area (lower wing skin) where it connects to the wing rear spar and the aileron bell crank inspection holes (lower skin). I can take pictures or measurements you need. Please email me at fly170 at gmail.com as it will be easi...

I can measure when I get back to the hangar, but want to make sure I am measuring the correct portion of the lip. 1948 170, S# 18118. Just the lip that hangs down. Should be either appro...

Re: HIGH,HIGH OIL TEMP!!
I suspect the 3 inch lip was actually added to the 1948 after production started maybe due to cooling issues. My 48 S/N 18608 has the 3 inch lip.

Re: AN884 hose sizes
AN884 should be similar to 306 hose.
If you google AN884 and pull up WIck's ad they reference 306.
