Short Body Dimensions

[DaV8or]

I'm looking to lease a very small T hangar for a plane I don't have yet. I'm pretty sure that a M20E will fit, but would like to be sure before I sign on the dotted line. I know the overall length and wingspan, but what I'd like to know is the distance from the widest cord section trailing edge of the wing to the tip of the tail. Also, from the same trailing edge to the tip of the spinner might be helpful too. Anybody know where I could find these numbers?

I'm resurrecting this very old thread -- does anyone know the dimensions of the horizontal stabilizer for the M20E?  I know the wings are 35 feet wide, but cannot find the dimensions of the horizontal stabilizer. Thanks.

Should be the same size as my C.

Thanks Hank!  I'm surprised it's almost 12 feet.

You'll realize just how much metal there is the first time you wash and wax it . . .    I rate it at about 3 sedans.

I just bought an orbital buffer. It took me 2 hours

for just the top of one wing.

I do it by hand quicker than that . . . Several rags and a bottle of Aerocosmetics Wash n Wax.

You need to start with paint that has been untouched for years while being stored outside...

Measured in sore arms.

the aluminum on the control surfaces is pretty soft.  If the hangar is too short, just push the plane in really hard.
