What is your Height?

[Vtaildriver]

Would guys with the extended gear and bush tires let me know what the height of the top of the wing is. I am on the verge of buying extended gear and bush tires yet I have a hangar that has limited wing height and realize that I might not be able to accomplish it. I have a 1984 MX-7-235.

Needed data:
Type of Maule
Extended gear yes or no
Type of tires and inflation
Height to the top of the wing near the wing tip

With this data I will be able to figure out what combo would fit into the hangar. I will attempt to post a picture of the hangar.

Chris, I have an extended gear M7 on 8.50s at present. I'll try to remember to get wingtip top height but remember the antennas too.

[Vtaildriver]

I have a ton of room for the fuselage its just the wing area that I am worried about. Here are some pictures of a hangar like mine.

I'll have measurements on my -5 with 26GY in the morning.

A point to add.
when the wings have little clearance, it is important to place blocks under the oleo bolts when leaving the plane for any time, as a tyre can lose air and airplane will tip and opposite wing contacts hangar.

1986 M-6-235 with stock M-6 wing, stock-length ABI heavy-duty gear, and 31" Bushwheels infated to 6.25 psi.

Height at highest point on wingtip: 7'0".

Thank you Andy! And great point about the tire drop raising the other wingtip Jeremy.

My current measurements for a stock 1984 MX-7-235 is 79 1/2" to the top of the wingtip. To the bottom of the metal roof purlin is 92 1/2"

My M6 on extended gear and 26" Goodyear tires is 86". The antennas or a vertical prop needs more clearance.

[chazdevil]

Yup.
86" just like MontanaMaule.
Tall gear, 26" GY.

[Vtaildriver]

Thanks Rick and chazdevil. I think I would be pushing it with extended gear and 31"s.
