a tricylce gear with stock gear is 8 foot tall,..a tail dragger is 5'8"? I think ..with stock gear,..so if you got a trailer that a tricycle gear will fit into ,..you'd be covered,.unless your talkiong about a tricycle with tall tires
what ever the tire size is over the stock tire,..split the hieght dimension and subtract 1/2 the original stock tire height from 1/2 the new tire height ,..this will give you your new height dimension plus 1/2 the stock height .
I can't tell you exactly the height difference ,.I can only give you a close guestimation,..what will matter is the tire you choose the ammount of air pressure you choose to put in the tire ,. prop diameter etc..too many variables to give you an exact measurement with out actually doing what your proposing and measuring it,..
I'd say it would be safe to say it's around 6.5 foot to 7 foot unless your swinging a 96 inch prop
Yes, that is right. I should be able to make my decision in the next couple weeks, as to which model will work best for me. But with either model, I'm expecting/hoping to have the 912s, which seems to usually have the 3 blade.
good choice ,..either the 912 or 912s ,..either will get you off the ground quick with a 3 blade,..might want to also ask for perfomance differences between IVO Warp etc on which aspect of which prop works best for your purpose
Been through this. We did quite a bit of research on what was available and finally got a semi-custom trailer from 1st Interstate in Nampa, ID.
We are building a tail dragger and the trailer we got will not work for a trike. The issue is not the tail height (with the wings folded the CG shifts so the tail drops), but the placement of the main gear and the location of the wheel wells. Good luck.
