170/170A Flap dimension

Post by Poncho73 »

Guys my 1948 170 is in storage and I need to order the "bulbed" style trail edge stiffener. Would someone be able to get me the actual width of the 170 flap, not a B model but the 170.

Spruce have the 79.5" and 116" available, I just want to make sure prior to ordering.

Thanks Dave

Dave,

I'll measure mine after work, but hopefully someone will chime in before then.

Poncho, the 170A flap is NOT the same as a 170 flap. And as you know neither are the same as a 170B flap.

The length of the flap on my '48 C170 is 97.25". Hope this helps.

Yes, that's it. Anyone have the trailing edge beaded stiffener available. I need the left and right sides
