In need of measurments!!

JF I'm guessing the wings will be folded so make sure you account for that because i think it adds a couple feet

Like you see on the Drawing the wing will be folded, the domer window will be 10' wide to accommodate the Kitfox SS in the storage time, that will leave the floor empty to work on oder project!

My SS7:
A = 14' 1"
B = 5' 1"

These are + or - 1"

Thank's Jim! those measures will be priceless!!

Can someone take a picture of the ss7 of this line of sight to see how close to the ceiling can i winch up my plane.

if you place the prop in a Y position dose the upper tip of the prop, line up with the top of the skylight and the top of the rudder

What is the measure between the front wing attachement point and the line of sight? (approx)

I know that will be problematic to take!!!

Thank's in advance!!!

Josh, I juste come to understend wath you mean by adding some distance behind the rudder when the wing are fold...... so my drawing is incorect

Jim did you take the measurment with wings fold? 14'-1''?

Did a new drawing!

The measurements I gave are NOT with wings folded; it is just prop hub to the back of the rudder like in your first picture. I cannot do any wings folded measuring because my wings are at the airport and the fuse is in my garage. Also I don't have the prop bolted on yet.

Chef,
I usually get in trouble posting about a model I know nothing about but here goes anyway. The measurement you are looking for would be the center to center distance of the front and rear wing spars (27.5 inches) plus the length of the wing spars (162 inches) plus the length of the wing tips (I don't know what the ss uses for wing tips).

At most the total measurement will be 201 inches ( 16 feet 9 inches.)

Does that help you any?

Eric, also be aware that the center of gravity from which you would suspend the plane moves way aft with the wings folded.

Ok i know that some of you had given measurmens.... and by criss-crossing the datas from you guys I manage to find the measures that i need....
so that what it's look like!! I remark on some pictures that when the wings are foled the tail is heavy enough to tip over.... and the main gear is slightly in front of the rear wing spars points..... the CG sould be 6 to 8 inchs or so aft the rear wings attache points wath do you think about it?
