I'd like to build as much as possible at home instead of the hangar. I just finished the elevators and am about to move on to the tailcone. Based on some research, I see that the tailcone is about 9 feet long (without the rudder installed from what I can tell).
My garage door is 10-ft wide. I'm thinking if I build the empennage and then attach the HS and VS, I can get it through the door sideways. I assume I'll need to detach the rudder to get it through the door. Obviously, I can't bring it straight through the door because the HS is wider than my door opening.
Can anybody help me confirm that if I build this thing inside my 1-car garage that I'll be able to get it through the door when I'm done?
(When completed, I'll need to transfer the empennage from my garage to my hangar so that I have space to build the fuselage next)
