Shortly before I wrecked my 48 model 170, I purchased a set of Kennon wing and cockpit covers. They were slightly used when I purchased them and I only used them about two weeks. The guy I purchased them from used them on his 48 model, but I think that they are actually for a 170A or 170B because they have square wingtips. They fit ok on my ragwing, but would fit better on a later model.
If anyone is interested I'm selling them for $400 + shipping. Email me at rwaring1@earthlink.net
Thanks,

Cockpit covers, etc.
'68 Rangemaster - nice airplane ! I understand they're a delight to fly and very stable. Fellow in adjacent hangar to mine has a Navion and loves it.
Good luck on that- keep us posted Rob-

It does seem to be an easy plane to fly... I had the opportunity to put about four hours on it last week on a long cross country. Flew nice, lots of room & five seats. Seemed to have some sort of funky dutch roll in turbulence however. I couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from so dutch roll might be a bad descriptor. It seems to be a good deal, but I am being cautious at this time.

I've never flown a Navion but have always heard it's a good flying airplane. Does that "Dutch roll" happen only in turbulent air ? A V-tail Bonanza wallows around a bit but it's still a great machine.
You're right to be cautious though. I guess you've checked for any AD's and Service Bulletins and you'll want a really good pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with the type.
