John,

Had the same issue with my AW Hawk but it JUST fits and I DO have to squeeze myself in with the seat right forward - fortunately the trip to the field is only 15mins! Not sure how the paintwork will fair mind you as it really is a squeeze fit [:-]

I reckon the inlet ducts would be too wide to go between the front seats (as with the Hawk) so looks like it is a van only model [:@] Even a regular builder's transit size van would be too small as I believe they only have a loadspace about 8ft 4in long. Shame coz there are a lot of models I'd fancy from several manufacturers!! I think that more effort should be put into the portability of these models - would benefit the manufacturers as more people could transport/store them then so they'd sell more??

AW are popping out some very nice stuff lately!! Wonder what's next!!??

Rgds,
Mark
