Hi Simon,
That's plenty of room to move the fuselage through a window.
It all depends of what level the window is. Ground level would be
perfect. Concerning the tail, do you have enough room inside to move the
fuselage around so as to insert the tail first ? Or room outside to do
the reverse ?
Of course, you won't install the wheels before getting the fuse through
the window.
Why not print a side view of the fuselage at a definite scale and try it
on a plan ?
I've seen many a fuselage getting through much narrower apertures.
