It is not specified in the American Aviation Corporation 1969 Owner's
Manual. Scaling it from the three view and using the gear width of 99", it
looks to be 46.89".

Naw. My Pickett LL slide rule only goes to two places - and I'm guessing on
the second one. That's the curse of having an analog brain in a digital
world.

I was thinking of going if a pal in Missouri finished up his twenty-year old
Emeraude project and flew it to the "show"; but he says he isn't going to be
ready this year. I may plan a trip to Reno for the air races instead and
wait until 05 for Wisconsin. Say Hi to the gang for me, though.

That sounds a lot more reasonable than the ~47" I scaled off the 3-view.
