Default Dimensions Needed

I need two dimensions to build the wheel jig that Mel
suggested to move an RV9A.
Its on the gear, no tail, no wings.
I need:
1. Distance from the most front edge of the nose gear to the
most rear spot on the main gear...axle to axle will not work.
2. Diameter of main gear tire

With these two I can build the jig to hold the fuselage on the
flat bed for moving.

Thanks in advance

Default Thanks Bruce

I sure appreciate the help!
I bought Jim Sweat's unfinished RV9A and it's in Lawrenceville, GA
450 miles away.
Planning on going to get it 07/08, can't wait, so you saved me Bruce.
Thanks a million!!!!
