Width of Tailplane RV-6A
Hi Guys,
I am moving an RV-6A and need the dimensions of the horizontal tailplane, in other words, the width of the horizontal stabilizer and elevators, including the fairings.
Anyone out there with those dimensions ?
Thanks a lot.

Steve's (Zero4Zulu) measurement of 106 inches is right on the money...just measured the width of an extra 6 HS without fiberglass and end to end is just under 101 inches.

Roll back tow truck is the right answer.
You might remove the HS and elevators while you're at it. It won't take much time and will eliminate a bit of risk.

I trailered my -6 with the HS installed, it was 15 miles of sheer terror. Do yourself a favor and remove the HS. If it gets whacked on something you will do some REAL damage!

+1 roll on tow truck without tail feathers. Just moved to airport and was low stress for me and the driver. Funny when I called Wally?s towing about moving an airplane, ?oh yeah we?ve moved a bunch of those.?
