Hello all you RV-12ers out there (oh, how I envy you ;))

Quick question: What is the approximate height from the very top of the vertical stabilizer/rudder down to the ground? I'm trying to get an idea to see if it can fit in a standard height enclosed trailer or if the trailer height (at least a little bit at the end) will require modification.

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
About 8'3" as I recall--just barely had enough clearance in my garage which had 8-foot walls and about a 4-inch recess in the floor.
 
If the tail is too high, pull it down and put a block under the nose wheel. I hung a 50 pound weight on the tail tie down ring to facilitate getting the plane out of the garage which has a 7 foot high door.
