 |
|
Can someone publish the ramp (garage floor) to belly distance with the gear on? It would be really good to get the distance both with the engine on and before it is installed.
I am in the garage with the canopy top fully trimmed but not bolted down. Standing back and looking at the project this weekend I started looking at the distance from the top to my garage door opener which also translates to what I will need for clearance rolling out of the door.
I am trying to get as much of the wiring complete before I install the gear and don’t want to get surprised and stuck.

Gary:
Mine measures 28.5" from the garage floor to the belly, at the firewall. That is with an Eggenfellner engine installed. My airplane rolls out of a standard 7' garage door with several inches to spare. No tail feathers of course.

I'm not sure of the belly height but we were able to get ours out of a door that was 6'-4" high by 7'-11" wide door with the Lyc IO 540 hung. We were able to do this by removing the main wheels and fabricating a 4" dolly wheel. We rolled it about 6-8 feet on the dollys and then put mains back on. It worked great. I have pictures somewhere if you need to see them.
