Hey guys- looking to find out the distance between trailing edge of wing and most aft portion of tail to see if it will fit in our hangar. Looking at short bodies. Can't find online.
Thanks!

Funny

I was looking for the dimension from the trailing edge of the wing to the furthest forward point of the nose. That’s the limiting factor in my hangar. My Baron barely fits. I’m guessing an MU2 won’t but gotta get a tape measure out to be sure.

If a Baron is tight its unlikely the Mu2 will fit.
At KDVT an Mu2 fits in a big City hangar, a King Air 90 will also fit. A 690 won't.
In fact not much else does besides for a Cirrus or TBM or PA46.

These are the published KDVT dimensions. There are several different generations of our muni hangars but they all work for Mu.

From the rear of the tip tanks to the nose is pretty close to 20 feet.

Our hangar (https://akr.airspaceplace.com/diagram/) is nominally 20’ and just barely fits. And by barely, I mean the hangar door insulation and nose and tip tank static wicks and back wall, are intimate when closed.

Thanks for that diagram and info. If you can measure the exact length sometime from nose to static wick, I’d be appreciative.

That’s a bit of a science project Guy. I think Jon got you very close, along with my experience. Any closer requires actually putting one into your hangar.

I think you are a bit short. Could possibly make it work by boxing out some extensions for the tips (if it’s a Tee and if your neighbores/landlord are willing.

I have measured the exact length on my Solitaire. As accurately as I can get it using a laser line, it is 19’11”. That does include the static wick, but I have the stiff style static wicks. They are responsible for about 2” by my guess.

Turns out the wing box depth is 20’ in the hangar. Should fit after all!

It’ll be close/tight. Get a good chock or whatever installed so you can’t accidentally go too far, and in a hangar I have that’s close I’ve got a chock I put in front before I close the door plus painted a line behind which I need the nose wheel to be, just to be sure.

But for the capability it is a nicely compact airplane!

Does anyone know when the Mu2 changed windshields to glass?

I wouldn’t swear to it, but I believe it was with the P model. I think there are some M models that have been retrofitted though.

John,

The switch over came around 75/76 glass windows required by the A10SW type certificate.

If I remember some of the earlier A2PC certified models can run both Plastic and Heated windows.

“A domestic type certificate, A10SW, was awarded MAI on January 20, 1976 and on July 1, 1976, the production inspection certificate was approved for MAI. The MU-2 was now to be certified in the United States through the Southwest Region of the FAA under the A10SW Type Certificate. Provisions of CAR 3 with special conditions continued to provide the certification basis for the A10SW airplanes. Serial Nos. 313,349,652, and 661 were certified under the A10SW type certificate. These airplanes had their own AFM/POM unique to their serial number”

“M” Model – Serial Nos. 319,320,322 through347, and 349 (Serial No. 349 has an A10SW T/C; other have A2PC T/C)


It’s a pain to change windows best plan to do an interior replacement as the entire front cabin has to come out to replace a windshield.

Regards,
Nigel
