I was thinking about picking up an US 60 w/ Saito 100 for my next plane. Just want to make sure if it will fit across the backseat of my car before I buy. Can someone please measure tip to tail. Right now I have a NexStar and if I pick the spinner and prop up onto the armrest of one door, I can have about an inch between the other door and the tail.

Thanks, I'd hate to get the thing all built up and not have any way to transport it to the field.

Also as long as I'm posting I might as well get some opinions on the US as a second plane... I just invested in a computer radio so I'll be able to take advantage of the flaps/crow, etc. Should I go w/ a stick, or get something low or mid wing? Obviously since this is my first plane after my trainer I'm not the best pilot in the world, but I'm doing alright and looking for something a bit more fun.

Thanks again,
Dave
