He posted to 12/12IS forum, so???
Wing: At Spar skin length 139" plus position light of 1.5 inch. There is a slight curve in wing skin to match fuselage but wing tip also curves a bit. The spar pass through length is 43 inches. Overall length = 139+43+1.5 = 183.5 inches.
Fuselage tub: At widest which is at mid seat/hip I've got 44.25 inches. Tub length including aft longeron extension is 90". The extension itself is 6 inches. Important to note fuel cutoff valve bracket and fuel pump brackets are 4.5 to 5 inches add to the aft bulkhead, but shorter than longeron end.
Tailcone width is 39 +/- inches. It pooches out when sitting on its own by about an inch or so. Mine is stored right now at the hanger about 30 minutes away, thus I don't want to guess at length but can get it for you on Thursday if no one else gets it for you. (I don't want to guess but its longer than anticipated. I did get it into a 10 foot cargo trailer to move it.)
Wing Chord is 57", Fuse tub height is 45" plus minus an eyeball error. Shouldn't be more than that, again the bottom isn't flat so when sitting on belly fuse tilts forwad a bit which raises the roll bar up a smidge. The emp crate is 115" long and the tailcone skins pretty much filled the bottom so the max length wolud be about 113" plus a couple of inches for stabilator hinge brackets on aft most bulkhead. Thats an informed WAG. :>)
...and a great service. Thank you!
