Default Height ?

I'm trying to finish off my workshop and I need to know the height from the floor to top of the vertical stabilizer when aircraft is on the ground in the flying attitude ?

Storage as we all know can be at a premium and I don't want to build anything overhead that would impinge when setting up the empennage !

Thank you in advance to those lucky builders who are in that exciting position of putting big components together and would know.

Any ideas ?
Searched the web but nothing found. Starting the overhead storage this weekend if anyone has a rough dimension, thanks.
