Guys I need yer help.

  

 I have a guy who wants to buy my plane and trailer it  away.

  

 Can someone tell me...

  

 1) The width to the outside of the main  wheels

 2) The width of the center spar...He may want to use an  enclosed trailer.

  

 Thanks

Looking at the drawing on my wall it looks like the wheels are 7ft center to center so add a foot or so.



Can't help with the spar question but I don't see how it would matter the gear is the widest part of the fuselage.



The top of the rudder is ~78 inches from the ground.

Unfortunatly the HDS is not like the XL...The wheels are not the widest

part, the center wing section is wider than the wheels.



Thanks all the same.

Frank,

The center spar material length is 2200mm or 86.61 inches.  Your main gear

is about 5-inches narrower at Centerlines.  Just fits onto a trailer I 

have for

my HDS which is 84-inches wide.  The 2200mm is without the splice 

plates, so

you may have to remove them if you're going to try for inside a trailer.

It'll be close though.

Frank:

  

 I just measured the distance between the outboard  ends of the MLG axles at 81 & 1/2 inches and the span of the center  section (not including splice plates) at 86 & 3/4 inches.  Hope this  helps.

 I forgot to mention that the airplane I measured is  a 601HD.  Should be the same as your HDS.

Frank,

The center spar is 2200 mm wide.  If you leave the splice plates on the spar you will have to another 126 mm.
