Here ya go:

Spinner to tail: around 85" or 86" with a Tru-Turn 3 1/2 Ultimate style spinner

Height of tail from tail wheel: 22" as set up on my DV

Cabane (top wing center section) to ground (3 1/4" dia wheels): 23 1/2"

As far as removing the cabane and landing gear for transport, yes, it can be done but I'd recommend not to. If you really had to fit it under a pickup truck bed cover, I would remove the stabs and lay the fuse down on its side on some foam padding. In which case the wheel pant to wheel pant outside dimension is 19"

The plane flies great and is pattern and 3D capable. I suppose you could fly IMAC Basic with it but it may not be F3A? pattern legal (I think there's a 2m x 2m box limitation?) I'm having a blast with mine. They are on the last production run so are being closed out priced by Chip and Chief Aircraft.
