Anyone know off-hand what the wheel track is on a Citabria? Either from the
wheel centers, or even better, from the outside of the wheels? I need to
know if I can fit it in a container with the gear on. Searched the net for
the info, no dice..

Our 7GCBC has 86" outside the tires, and it has the long axle
nuts for mounting wheel pants and they add a couple of inches each
side. I think a container is about 96" on the outside. Should fit. I
think the width of the elevators will be a hassle.

Yeah, they will have to come off. I knew that OK, but that shouldn't be
much of a problem. Don't want to get involved with making a cradle or
stands to mount it on during transport, though. It'd be safer on the gear I
figure.

Thank you for that!
