I've read tons of posts on Vans Airforce about how often the big pushrods end up too short if you cut them to the length on the print, so I looked at this pretty closely. The wings I have are from 2006, and the 15A print has a dimension of 65 25/32" I've got new preview plans in both paper and Electronic versions, so I looked at them just to confirm. The callout is fuzzy on both the paper copy and the electronic version, but it looks like 66 26/32.

I get why they would bump this up if people were getting them too short, but an increase of exactly 1 1/32" seems like a strange number, so I asked on VAF and got a reply from someone who said their print had the old number, but they increased it by 3/8".

This is a little strange. The title block shows 4 revisions to this print, the last one in 2003. None of the revision notes mention anything about changing this particular dimension.

I'd like to get these made so that I can do a temporary install on the left wing and make sure I'm going to have clearance for my pitot tube install, but I'm going to investigate this a little further.
