Wing spar length

Hello,

I'm still in the very early stage planning to build a 7A. I first have to build the workshop. I don' t have that much space and will need to store the wings (once done) elsewhere. I was just wondering what is the length of the wing with and without wingtips.
I see on the wing jig drawing, that the posts are 114' apart, but the doesn't give the exact length of the wing.
Thank you

That's roughly right... It may be 2-3 inches longer (w/o tips) but that's about it... shouldn't really matter (if it does, then you're in trouble

Anyways, you can hang wings on the wall using wide (2") cargo straps.. I had 'em like that in my old house (one car garage) and it worked out great. In that one-car garage I got to about 1/2 way through the fuselage (upside down; tail-to-firewall all clecoed, but not riveted).. and it was doable, but barely.. it wasn't fun.

My spars measure 114 5/16". The wingtips are 19" at the TE (longest). So 115" without tips and 134" with tips.

Thank's a lot, I have a little shed in my garden, its 117' long, so I'll use it to temporarely store the wings.

I'm not sure if wing length on a 4 is different, but my wings measure 114 inches not including the section of spar that enters the fuse. This piece adds about a foot to the overall dimension.
