So, since I have an airplane without an engine... I figured it was a good time to do some MX that might as well be done now.

So I am replacing my flop tube. I pulled it out and it is 15.5"..... So should I order a 15 or 16? Or where can I find a 15.5?

As an aside... This was a PITA to remove, It was too big to come out the front, so I had to fish it out the top. I made a mistake and tied to the big end and that took some work to jiggle it out.
