Gidday,

As I do not have engines, props, spinners on yet, I was wondering if someone with a finished a/c could clarify for me the overall length of the a/c from spinner to tailwheel, and from spinner to the aftmost point on the fin? I'm interested in seeing if my desire to get my Europa, in time, into a 20' container for overseas flying. To that end I have flirted with the idea of making the rudder drive mechanism "quick release", so that with minimum effort I can shorten the a/c's overall length. My intention would be to attempt to design a trailer that would have a foldable gooseneck, the structure that the towing cup is connected to, so that I can increase the length of the trailer once offloaded. Any help or advice much appreciated.

Hi Tony,

I considered using a 20' container as an affordable "hanger" at my second 

home in Alaska and so measured the length of my mono. I remember that it 

would fit, but I don't remember what the actual length was. I think your 

plan will work!

Tony,

    

   I have an XS in a conventional gear configuration and a Jab 3300 with the associated FWF kit. With that in mind, I measured furthest portion of the tailwheel to the tip of the spinner measured 18 ft 10 inches. And from the furthest portion of the rudder to the tip of the spinner measured 19 ft 8 1/4 inches.

   I guess you could remove the spinner and rudder to get some extra room for shifting. Good luck.
