Can anyone post how wide a chief gear is and how long is it from main gear to tailwheel.
Thanks.

See post by bwmatz on 02/18/2013 under longitudinal drawing in this thread. I think it has just what you want.

Looks like the gear is 6' wide. Still need to know distance from main wheel to tailwheel.

7-580 illustrates 191.5 inches from the firewall to the tail post. If I had to guess I'd say mains to tail wheel 14 ft more or less.
