Hey Guys, I almost hate to reply "to all", but this is an interesting thread. My project (hopefully N247RF - one day) measures as follows: 24 3/16 from inside of firewall to front of main spar. 107 1/2 from that same front of main spar to the rearmost bay (where rudder support is glued to) 35 5/8 widest point of the cockpit. Taildragger. standard wing and tail feathers. O-200 engine Even incomplete she looks pretty.
