I 'borrowed' this from the RV-10 yahoo list...thought it would be beneficial to have here as well.

Subject: Useful measurements for determining workspace required
Hi all,
I've tried to gather some measurements for the new and rospective
builders, so they know what to plan for workspace requirements. Randy was nice enough to measure his fuse for me, so we have a good idea of the space these things will take up as you're building.
All dimensions are MAX including anything sticking out. An attempt was made to measure the widest measurement you'd need to fit these things in an area.
Tailcone
108"L x 36"W x 37"H
Wing
152"L x 57"W x 9.5"H
The wings include the length and width with the flaps attached. Reduce by about 9"W and 2"L if you remove the flap. The flap attach brackets will still stick out though.
Horizontal Stab
134"L x 20.5"W x 4"H
The Elevator, Vertical Stab, and Rudder are all small enough to
fit through any door that a person can.
Fuselage
Firewall to Tailcone 115" Width 57" from ends of wing center section Height 52" Add about 18" for engine mount.
By the time you join your tailcone to your fuselage, you'll need about 18.5' in length for work area. Start adding the engine and you'll need another 3 or 4 feet.
