How is length of a Wild Hare plane measured?
How is length of a Wild Hare plane measured?
I’m considering a 50cc size plane whose overall length from spinner tip to trailing edge of rudder is 80 inches or less. When Wild Hare specifies a length of 78”, as they do with their 50cc Edge 540, is that the length I need or how is it being measured? I’ve found in some cases the length measurement is from trailing edge of rudder to front of cowl.
Thanks,
Al

However my published measurements may not be exact. It's very hard to get an exact measurement what with the fuse being an irregular shape, so my dimensions could be off by a bit.
But to answer the first question yes I do include the spinner when I measure.

I always go from rudder TE to the spinner tip, the spinner IS part of the plane.

But you can easily remove the spinner to save a few inches, and the rudder can be turned to one side to save some space.
I have even made a rudder removable.
