707-300 Tail & Pod Strike Angles

Hi all,

I've recently been learning the 707-300 series, with my primary study resource being a painfully antiquated set of manuals. I've been able to get the aircraft put together in my head, more or less, but two pieces of information I've been unable to find in any of my sources are the angles of pitch and bank at which one can expect to have a tail or pod strike, respectively. I'd work the numbers out myself, but I also lack the measurements to perform the necessary trig.

Oh, and the plane in question is outfitted with the JT3D-7 series engines, not the CFMs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
