Only one answer I can think of. 4*s get a 40 size if your transportation is a big problem. If you have a little bit more room, go for the "60" size. They're super easy to build & an absolute joy to fly. There is all kinds of threads on the 4*s to help you build & possibly "bash" a little. I've had 2 of them & (had) ya dumb thumbs. I miss flying them. They make a good pilot better & a bad pilot look good !!!
Most reasonable sized 4 door cars will handle a 60 size plane, if the rear seats fold down. We have a Chrysler 300C (big) and a 5 year old Camry and I don't have a bit of problem putting my Alpha 60 in either. I'm currently assembling a 4*60 which will also not be a problem in either. With the wings off you should be able to put the tail through the back seat opening by tilting it a bit as you put it in, then setting it down on the wheels and using somthing to chock it in place. The Camry will hold the plane, field box, tool bag, folding chair and cooler with no problem, and the passenger seat still available for adult use. I think the Camry has room enough for both along with the other stuff, and no doubt that the 300 will do it.
