Outstanding!
Just the info I was missing. Thanks a whole bunch, everybody that jumped in to help. Gramps

While attempting to trial fit my wings yesterday, I found that the rear spar stub on the wing hits the spacer bar in the fuse. It looks like I need to trim some off the wing stub but I'm not about to do that without some more answers. It looks like I need maybe a half inch or so more to go before th...

Wow! Thanks a bunch Capt. John - that's what I was looking for. Splendid response time. Appreciate it. I know the field that topless -3 lives on and will try to get a pic of it for everybody. Heard that he's got a very non-stock O-360 in it. I'll wager that thing would rip your ears off with the thr...
