    With the wings folded your looking at 96 inches leading edge to leading edge straight across the fuselage. The horizontal stabilizer is also 96 inches wide, at least those are the dimensions on my series 6.

    Im still building my SS but ive had the wings on and off several times. I've been interested in trailering with an enclosed trailer from the start so i took measurements of the wings folded. To my disaappointment my measurement was 97.25" before covering. This eliminates nearly every 8.5' wide trailer out there. You can find some with a 98" door opening but do you really want to give yourself only 1/4" clearance per side? Still looking.

    Hi Guys
    I just yesterday posted pics of my newly completed "Covered Wagon" for my Vixen.
    The outside width is 102 inches, weighs less than 2000 lbs and tows very well.
    look on my Albums under Covered Wagon.
    May give you some ideas for a trailer.
    Cheers
    Don

    Depending on the amount of padding used between the vertical stabilizer
    and the flaperon the overall horizontal dimension of the folded wings will be
    more than 96". I use the factory pad and have 99".

    Attached are two pics of arrival at the airport and after unload.

    Nice job on your covered wagon don.

    Sounds like your measurement is correct Neville.
