Tony,
I have an XS in a conventional gear configuration and a Jab 3300 with the
associated FWF kit. With that in mind, I measured furthest portion of the
tailwheel to the tip of the spinner measured 18 ft 10 inches. And from th
e furthest portion of the rudder to the tip of the spinner measured 19 ft
8 1/4 inches.
I guess you could remove the spinner and rudder to get some extra room for
shifting. Good luck.

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Length re 20' container
Gidday,
s I do not have engines, props, spinners on yet, I was wondering if someon
e
ith a finished a/c could clarify for me the overall length of the a/c from
pinner to tailwheel, and from spinner to the aftmost point on the fin? I'm
nterested in seeing if my desire to get my Europa, in time, into a 20'
ontainer for overseas flying. To that end I have flirted with the idea of
aking the rudder drive mechanism "quick release", so that with minimum eff
ort I
an shorten the a/c's overall length. My intention would be to attempt to
design
trailer that would have a foldable gooseneck, the structure that the towi
ng
up is connected to, so that I can increase the length of the trailer once
ffloaded. Any help or advice much appreciated.
