Default RV-9A spar length

I'm trying to figure out the layout of my shop. What is the length (or approximate length) of a wing spar for an RV-9? I've seen construction projects where each wing is set up on some kind of jig, hanging from the spar, which appears to be resting at each end on vertical 2x4 wooden supports. My question is, how long is each wing when it is set up like this? About 10 feet?

It is 133" between the posts plus 3.5 for each post and you are looking at roughly 11' 8".

Also...
You may want to leave a little extra room because the wing skin sticks out beyond the outboard rib....
