HS and Wing height to the ground?

Hi, I am trying to see if an RV-10 will fit in a hangar with another aircraft which might require overlapping the horizontal stab and/or the wings. I can't seem to find a source for the hight off the ground for these and wanted to see if anyone would mind measuring? I realize the exact measurements will vary slightly based on the wheels/tire pressure/etc, but I appreciate anything you can give me. I am looking for 1) height off the ground to the bottom of the HS, 2) height off the ground to the lowest point of the wingtip, and 3) height off the ground to the lowest part of the wing measured outboard of the outboard-most flap hinge (i.e. the inboard, aft corner of the aileron I think). Thank you!

If you don’t have an answer by tomorrow morning I’ll post to you.
 
This is from the Vans drawing (not measured). Hope it helps:
