Wingspan of the '48?

Post by Fearless Tower »

Anyone know what the wingspan of the '48 is?

All I can find on the web is 36' for the 170B, but wondering if it is the same on the ragwing. Looking into same hangar options and not co-located with my airplane at the moment.

Thanks!

Thanks.

Which book is it in? I didnt' see it in the owner's manual for the '48, but maybe I missed it.

If searching, it is 36'. A 40' door gives just enough clearance for a small error of pulling into hanger.
