Could someone let me know what the length of the horizontal stab is?
I have a door in the side of my hanger and want to know if I can take the wings off an RV-12 and pull it in that way.
Thanks

To clairify, do you mean how wide the stabilator is?.. attached to the airplane?

Yes, that is what a meant.
Can I pull it through a 10' wide by 12' tall garage door with the wings off?

Since the RV-12 was designed to be "trailerable", I would assume that it should fit easily through a 10' wide door.

The stabilator is 8 feet wide.

There is a typo on the D size drawing that says calls out the total plane length at 26' 6", but it's 20' 6". I almost had to stretch my garage 3 feet.

More problematic is the vertical stab. It has to come off to get the plane under the garage door when open.

I believe he said his garage door was 12" tall.
