Has anyone successfully rolled a complete fuselage out a garage door that is 8 ft 2 in?

Two thoughts come to mind. Either a motorcycle lift under the nose to lower tail to close to ground, or remove vertical stab.

Actually, I am worried about the height of the cabin top. VS is not attached. I am at point of landing gear attach and wondering if I can do that in my garage. I think 8'2" May be typical garage door clearance and a near as I can guesstimate it will be close. Thus would like to hear from someone who has done it (or discovered it couldn't, be done).

Hey Bob,
With no vertical stab, easily clears 7 feet. I got real good at putting the
vert and rudder on and off with a few bolts to tape off for painting. I did
have to take off the bottom two feet of molding on the single width door
frame sides to clear the wheels with no axel extensions.
Later, - Lew

Lew's right. Â At a little over 7ft, it's possible.
A couple of tips if you need them for a few extra inches..1) You can disconnect the garage door from the door opener chain/rail and shove the door up a few more inches.
2) You can let some air out of the tires.
3) You can add some weight to the fuselage to squat the landing gear.
You can find quite a few inches if you need to find them.

I just checked today. The fuselage, on the landing gear, with engine installed is right around seven feet tall over the doors. So going through an 8 ft tall door would not be an issue with vertical stab removed.

Brilliant work out in Oz Greg! Thanks for the photo. My problem was just to make sure the vertical clearance would be enough once I have the gear on. At 8'2", seems I'll be OK.
