The Thunderchickens design in metric so we were looking at the metric dimensions in the table in <R11>.

For those of you that are reaching for your calculators, that is the equivalent of 84"!

In all seriousness, I will post a Q&A when it is up on Wednesday to ask which dimension is the real dimension. I am hoping for the 213.4cm.

AS we all are Paul. Guess the GDC may need to get new calculators.
