std class wing length

[Tony[_5_]]

yes i know. 15 meters. but what is a typical length for each
individual wing.

starting to look at houses and need to make sure i have enough space
to spend winters sanding and spraying polyurethane. more is better of
course. 30 feet probably would be enough?

Tony,

I could go out and measure a '27; however, my guess is 26 feet counting the spar tip.

Almost exactly 26 feet. To work comfortably you will need about 30
feet because you need to get around and be able to roll and handle. 10
ft wide is close to the practical min width unless you are willing to
always be moving stuff around.
Keep expansion possibilities in mind when selecting. A garage that can
be lengthened is ideal. We have 59 ft from garage door to back wall.
It also makes in and out easy.
Before the next question- trailers are about 32 feet.
We picked out house because it had a decent place to work on gliders,
and a place to live attached.
Good Luck
UH

Yup. According to the drawings, my wings are about 25' 8" from the end
of the spar butt to the end of the default tip. With the tips sawn off
for winglet installation, it's about 25' 1/2".

FWIW. My friend's double-deep four car garage was about 32 feet deep
by 22 wide. Good enough for 1 wing plus 1 fuselage and a horizontal
stab or wing extension to be worked on simultaneously. My "standard"
two car garage fits one wing on the diagonal - barely. It's an ls8,
so it loses about a half meter with the tips removed

Half of 15m, plus half the width of a fuselage (call it 0.5m), less
removable winglets or interchangeable tips (e.g. for 18m).

Careful ! 18-meter trailers (and Duo) are ~36 feet.
Which is a bummer after I built a 34' garage.
Good news: Spindelberger makes a removable
tongue model option, fits in 34' garage with tongue off.
Bad news: You won't find this on used gliders
and its a nuisance...

See ya, Dave

Just a follow up. We close monday on a 36 x 36 glider workshop with a
2 bedroom detached house.

I am jealous. Really jealous, (or is is envious?). Just wondering why
you need two bedrooms. (LOL)

Duh. To store the epoxy, paint, and other stuff that can't take heat or
cold.

another update. the "short" part the garage, a mere 34 feet deep,
instead of 36 like the rest, is long enough to store a standard class
Schweizer trailer as long as the tongue goes under the workbench at
the front.

oh yea...could fit at least 3 glider trailers in the driveway but Leah
has already told me only one outside at a time. I haven't asked yet
if that means only in the driveway or includes however many i can fit
into the back yard.

[Cliff Hilty[_4_]]

The real question is there room for the couch you will be sleeping on if
you have more time in the glider garage than the house :)
