Hi Bob,
The cord lenght is a Combination between the wing and the ailerons
( 61" ).... I don't think "that" is the number your looking for...
Your looking for the dimensions of the wing & Aileron....
My Wings are in the Garage....If you need the measurements...
I'll get them...
Gotta Fly...

Mike that is what he needs because he wants to haul them on top of one
another on his truck rack and I dont think he would want to fold the ailerons under
and stack em

In re rivets -- as I recall when going thru the Edo factory many
years ago -- they had a spool of zinc-chromate tape, quite thin, sort
of like electrician's tape; that they put on all the faying surfaces
before riveting. On course most of it squeezed out but it did seal
the seams well.

As you know by now, the Kolbers are a great bunch; VERY helpful and
friendly. Welcome aboard, and good luck with your XC transporting.
You can write a story for Kitplanes or some other magazine & make a
few bucks. Take lots of pictures!

I like the idea of a monofloat for the US... seems it'd do a better job of
keeping spray off that low hanging prop.

When 100LL first came out and 80 was starting to get hard to find, a lot of
guys were using Alcor TCP to prevent lead fouling in their engines. You
don't hear much about it any more. Some people say Marvel Mystery Oil
works just as well, I dunno.
