Default Question regarding rear wing

How high does the OEM rear wing blade raise from its starting point to fully extended? I'm trying to get the precise length of travel for the motor lifting the wing. I'd measure this myself except I have a fixed (Misha) wing. Any help with a quick measurement would be appreciated.

Wing blade not activated = 0. Wing blade activated...how many inches did the motor move the wing blade upward?

Give me 15 minutes. The car is on the lift so I need to move a car to get it down.
