Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 4:31 am Post subject: Fuselage width on Gear dimension |
|
|
Would someone please measure the maximum width of the fuselage after the
landing gear is installed. I believe this would be the dimension from
the outside of the landing gear.
I have a 3 car garage but it is only 22' deep and there is a column
between the bays. I am trying to figure out if I can put the plane on
the gear and install the engine with the assembly on an angle and still
get it out with out major surgery on something like the garage door
opening. My alternate is to construct a temporary garage extension
which I want to avoid if possible.

Check the three view drawing (available on Tim's site), it's 7' 4" to
the center of the tires.. I have the same issue.

I think you're right around 8'. I used a 108" wide trailer to haul
it to the airport and I had 4 or 6 inches on the outsides of each
tire. If you plan for 9' wide, you should definitely have plenty of
room. That's not exact, but it should be close. I think when we
were measuring the tire-center widths for where to put the
ramps to the trailer, it was about 93 or 94" apart.

7'9" on gear with no wheels or tires on. It may spread a little with the
weight of the engine.

Ahhh, you may be right on. In the email I just posted I said we measured
93 or 94" when setting up the ramps. I think that wasn't tire centers,
but was the outside edges of the ramps, which would be about right
if the tire centers were 88".

I just moved mine to the airport last week on a rollback tow
truck. The width at the outside of the tires is 7' 10" with the hex
spindle for the wheel pant hanging out further. The spindle is 5" off
the ground. I had to find a rollback tow truck that was 8' wide and the
side rails come off to be able to do the move.
Thank You

Another option is to put each wheel on a floor dolly so it can move
sideways, then you can get one gear leg out and slide it over enough to get
the other one out. We have gotten ours through an opening 88" wide this
way. We didn't have the engine on and we were carrying it, but this is
probably your solution. You would probably want to layout the gear and
engine and prop in plywood, cut it out as accurately as possibly, lay it on
the floor and see if it can get out.

One thing I have seen done is to soap up the floor where the wheels will
need to go through then you can slide the wheels side ways given the
slippery soap like Jesse suggests except you won't need the dollies. Just
don't get carried away with the soap and break your back! You can pack a
hanger tight with a bunch of planes doing this too. THen just wash the soap
away.
