Default RE: Measure the length of a pattern plane

ORIGINAL: nonstoprc
So the question. Is the length of a pattern plane the length when all wheels are on the ground, or the shortest possible length after the tail is raised?
Often wondered about this too.
Same goes for te prop position. The lowest tip of the front prop of Brenner CD comes in front of the spinner when placed in a vertical position (due to 2,5 degrees upthrust of the Gaudius)
So a horizontal prop gives a shorter model than a vertical prop position
