I'm going to use the standard main tires, wheel pants, and the small tail wheel. It looks like I'll need a trailer that is at least 6' wide x 16' long. Thanks for the measurements Paul.

Re: Landing gear dimentions
Sorry it took a while, had to get to the prototype and my airplane. With the standard wheel and brake package, it is 68 inches wide to outside of tires. And 175 inches long tail wheel to front of tires. Wheel pants add about 3 inches to width, and about 6 inches in length. Larger wheels and brakes will probably make it slightly larger in both directions, not sure how much.

Landing gear dimentions
Does anyone know the width of the Panther landing gear (outside wheel pant, to outside wheel pant), and the distance from the back of the tail wheel to the front of the wheel pants? I might be able to pick up an open, flat trailer real cheap. I want to make sure it's long and wide enough, to accommodate the Panther's landing gear.
Thanks,
Glen
