I'm trying to decide if I'll be able to get it out of my shop without cutting a new door or something. I want to build my wings and tail and fuselage in my workshop, then take everyting to my hanger for final assembly etc. DOC ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:35:27 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV8-List: rv8 fuse. width From: James Freeman --> RV8-List message posted by: James Freeman On Friday, December 6, 2002, at 07:12 PM, Dr. Kevin P.

Figure on a little more than this for the "false spars" which make very convenient handles for a support frame, Mine is about 44" total, but I wasn't concerned about width since the narrowest door I'll take it through is an 8' garage door.
