Barn building -- need a measurement
Hi all,
I'm about to build a 12'x16' shed to house my project and need to know how wide the gear on a 7A is, tire to tire from the outside edges. In other words, how wide does the door need to be to roll the fuselage through? Based on the plans showing 6'8" between tire centerlines, I'm guessing at least 7'2" or so, but I want it to be a fairly tight fit so the doors don't look too wide relative to the overall structure. Most work will actually be done in the garage, but I might have occasion to stash the rolling fuselage in the shed.
Thanks,
bill
RV7A, tail 95% done, QB due in January
PS Anyone in Portland want to help with a barn raising the 26-28th? I'll provide beer & pizza... and a guest pass to the Nike employee store.
