Measurement of 1500 Dipstick?

[aeronca65t]

Can anyone measure their 1500 Midget dipstick for me?

I've misplaced the dipstick for my 1500 engine and I'm heading to a race tommorow (Summit Point).

On my car, I've threaded the dipstick hole and I usually screw a plug in (this prevents oil weepage when racing).
But I still use a normal dipstick to check the oil.....and I can't find the darn thing.

I need the distance from the "stop" area (where the felt seal is), to the "Full" mark.
I'm *thinking* it's 5.25" or so, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Thanks to both of you!

As long as I have the 5.25 measument (Thanks, Mark!), I can verify that it's reasonably full (it doesn't really burn oil....but you never know!)

I feel *much* better now......I'll probably find that darn dipstick on Monday!
