    At most the total measurement will be 201 inches ( 16 feet 9 inches.)

    Does that help you any?
    I think TJ answered it pretty close here I don't have the actual measurements myself

    Eric, also be aware that the center of gravity from which you would suspend the plane moves way aft with the wings folded.

    Ok i know that some of you had given measurmens.... and by criss-crossing the datas from you guys I manage to find the measures that i need....
    so that what it's look like!! I remark on some pictures that when the wings are foled the tail is heavy enough to tip over.... and the main gear is slightly in front of the rear wing spars points..... the CG sould be 6 to 8 inchs or so aft the rear wings attache points wath do you think about it?
