I don't know for sure but I suspect that the L19 legs are longer (maybe much longer) than any of the 170 legs. In case you didn't know it, the L19 swung a 90 inch prop 8O

What about the L-19E gear legs? They're slightly thicker that the "light weight" ones on the A model.

Are these Bird Dog legs the same as the early C-180 legs?

I'm pretty sure the L-19 legs are about three inches longer than the 180 gear. Have not measured garths yet.
