When we built our 3 Glastar's we did each of them in an area that

ultimately required us to roll thru an 8' wide garage door opening.  

The gear on a Glastar is about 94" axel to axel when installed, but when

you add an engine, prop and all the other goodies it spreads to more

than 8'.    The solution, which I believe will be applicable to the

RV-10 is to attach a ratcheting tie-down strap between to the two axels,

down low near the wheel  and pull the two axels towards eachl together. 

 We were able to very easily spring the gear in  and roll right thru the

door opening.
