Default Fuselage length of GP 1/3 Pitts

Great planes website says the fuselage length is 70", but Tower says 60". It's 10" difference.
Which one is correct? Thanks.

Eric,
I have a Zenoah G-45 mounted on my GP Pitts using the supplied plate motor mount. (Plate is mounted directly to the firewall box) I measured from the rear-most part of the rudder to the tip of the supplied GP spinner and get exactly 62 inches. Hope this helps.

Anyone know of a way to attach the cowling to the airplane, other than screws? I get sick of unscrewing all those little screws to get into the engine. I am thinking there has to be a company that makes a fastener that is like a 1/4 turn locking screw. Maybe someone has ideas?

Prophanger,
Are you thinking of Dzus fasteners?
