How wide is a rv6 elevator when installed?

[Oroyo]

Or is it just easier to remove it when shipping?

According to the drawings the elevators are just over 100" tip to tip *before* adding the fibreglass tips. So add another... say 8" or so? That would be the same width as the horizontal stab.

Thanks. Yeah so just a tad wide for the highway. How hard to remove? 104” is legal limit on highway. So maybe without the tips it would go.

It may not be legal but I know of several RV-6s that have been moved over the highway with the horizontal stabilizer installed on the fuselage. It is close enough, unless something goes wrong, the law enforcement most likely would not know.

Last year, I helped move one from MO to NC over the interstate highway.
