Default Kangke Waco size..

Anyone know if the Waco will fit in a Grand Caravan without dis-assembly..? Measurements are real close...

Thanks,
Pete

Yes it will. Remove the back seat, put the backs of the middle seats forward. Standing at the rear right I raise the tail and put it in first, then I put the right tip in low. The sholder belts are a pain in the neck, but the plane gets in.

You got to loose the rear set and board, it won't fit in that space. I made a platform in the back of mine also. I used two sheets of 1/8 inch paneling with 1/2 x 1 pine between them, weighed about the same a 1/2 inch ply, but was 10 times a stiff. I had to cut 11 inchs off the 8' length so the hatch would close. I put indoor- outdoor carpeting on it, looked good, but every time I put it in, my wife just had to take someone some where the next day, putting it in and taking it out got old real fast, funny since I don't put it in my wife doesn't haul people around, hmmmm.[>:]

I've been transporting my Kangke Waco in my 97 Pontiac Transport. It's smaller then the Grand Caravan. It won't fit through the back door on my Transport but I get it in through the side door, with the back 4 seats out. It will fit in your van for sure.
