Thanks. This sounds encouraging. It is ground level. Sorry, I forgot to
mention.

It is not huge on the inside (4,65m x 5,01m). But without cowling it
should barely fit. There is a second room that belongs to it (2m x
5.18m) to store smaller parts or the wings etc. The ceiling is at ca.
3.30m. I may be able to store parts underneath it when not working on it.

Yes, it is a corner room and both windows have enough room on the
outside. It's a former train station building.

It's a mono wheel. I could imagine that it could even fit with the main
wheel installed. I remeasured the window. It is actually a bit larger
than initially thought. 1,40m x 1,40m.

Good idea. I will try that.
I took photos of the room, if anyone wants to take a look:
