Default Balsa USA 1/3 scale Sopwith Pup

I need your help. I just bought a 6x10 cargo trailer and am going to put a shelf in it going across the trailer using E-tracks. One of these days I'm going to build a 1/3 scale Sopwith Pup. What I need from you is the maximum height of the airplane at the top wing center section with the tail on the floor. This will help me locate the height of the shelf. I also figure that the Pup will be the tallest plane that I'll ever put in it.

Thanks,
Ken

Default Pup Height

Mine came out at 37 inches, Probably the difference in the spoked tires I used. Since your building a trailer to go with it you may want to condsider building it with a removeable tail for more room in the trailer. I will try to get a picture posted of the set up I used.
I know it's not scale looking but it works really well and makes storing the plane in the garage easier.
