Default RE: Measure the length of a pattern plane


ORIGINAL: nonstoprc

I was measuring the length of passport and found that I need to raise the tail wheel a couple inches off the ground to get the shortest length. Otherwise, the total length is longer.
funny, I would have expected the opposite to happen, for it to get longer when level. Does the rudder sweep back a lot??
