Ragwing 1948 C170 Classiest Classic ?
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2018 11:25 pm
Recently saw a 1948 rag wing up close. Impressed. Owner loves his airplane.
Anecdotal memories. Why rag wing? Cessna had left over fabric from prior production. Bamboo bomber?
Parts bins with left over fuel tanks (C140) So 1948 is blessed w three (3) fuel tanks. Really?
Whatever - it was very good.
I want to learn more about the 1948 Classic Rag wing.
What was the cloth covering on original wings? Is the exact cloth available today?
My biggest question is about how many months in 1948 was it offered for sale? When did it start and when did it end?
