Don't ask a drone.............a guy can't measure some things accurately!   :-D   

I know, I know.............drones don't have stingers!

1/16th of an inch or there abouts...... long enough to hurt

I'm sure there's been a study done somewhere...MB might know. I'm also pretty sure the measurement will be in mm, another language I'm none to familiar with.

All you guys (and gals) crack me up.  Some times it is hard to get a straight (??) answer on this board....but that's what makes it fun.

Most of the time when there is no straight answer, nobody knows the answer.   I don't.

I'm jumping on board with Kathy...6 inches sounds about right!
