Clearance Height RV-9A

[Bear Creek Skunkworks]

Could someone give me the clearance dimension from the center of the belly skin, under the wing spar, to the ground on a standard RV9a.

Thanks,
Terry

Terry I will measure it for you tonight. Full fuel I assume? It's about 7 gallons in both tanks now.

?????

'clearance' would suggest you are trying to 'clear' something.
I'm curious what the number would be with cold air in the tires, at full gross, on soft ground, and don't forget the typical antennas hangin down there.
..wait a minite...the nosewheel is the lowest point along the centreline!

Another possibility

I'm thinking a cargo pod.

Funniest thing ...

I JUST measured that yesterday, to get supports for hanging the wings. Mine measures 28".

27 3/4 with 5 gallons in both tanks and 27 1/2 with full fuel.

Thanks I wanted to build a platform, (once) to work off of after mine is up on the gear.

Or it could be for that sonar buoy........
