Bantam B22

[Riley]

For hangar space utilization planning I need to know the footprint measurements of a Bantam B22. Don't have access to one to measure & Google gives only length (9m) and w/span (5.5m) but nothing about size (height & width) of empennage. I'd be grateful if anyone out there could provide the necessary numbers. Tks in advance

Just a guess, but I'd say the width of the tail would be a bit under 3 meters, and the top of the fin and rudder would be about 3-3.5 mts above the ground......................................................................Maj...

Maj & 80K's. Based on your info, we calculate that the weightshift and the B22 will peacefully co-exist in the available space so we're bringing the trike in from the country on Sunday. Thanks for your assistance gentlemen. Cheers Riley.

Assuming that 'trikepilot' and 'Kathy B' are one and the same, then yes, the query was inspired by your hangaring requirements. I was chasing info earlier to confirm that the hangar in discussion would accomodate both your flying machines. It eventuates that there's enough floor space left over for you to go out an buy a third aircraft! Merry Christmas. cheers Riley
