Status: offline 		Hi, i am entering the world of jets, and i want to see if they can perfectly fit in an SUV (grand Cherokee or Ford Explorer). I am planning to buy a new SUV to transport my airplanes to the airfield. I had a VW Golf and when i was flying my P-51 i just folded the seats and it was OK, but now that i see in jets they are much larger... I have a Kangaroo which i havent assembled jet, because it didnt fit in my car.

Please send pictures...


A friend of mice sent me this one, but is it a very large jet (FEJ f-86 1/5).

Nice packing.
I have an 05 Odyssey and all I can get in it is one plane and my support equipment. I have never transported a plane with the middle seats removed.
