My .40 size trainer fits nicely in this... (This is just random picture of the same model of car I have)... 2003 Toyota Echo sedan - fold down the seats and *carefully* load through the trunk.

If the owner of this car want to be a RCenthausiast, he would have to take a kit to the flying field, build it there, then crash before going home - and it cannot be anything bigger than a25" model.

Cheers

Anyways I have found out that no matter how many planes I take to the field I only fly 2 at a time.
4-5 flights each, 10-12 mins per flight.... That is a day of fun

I love the contrast in what some folk are using, at one end, trailers and large pickups, and at the other, a dude with an actual "mini" van (ie made by mini - not a people mover) - BRILLIANT!!
Guess it proves this hobby is suited to any and all after all!!

My last big IMAA event. All my camping gear and food for three days, all flight and support gear plus two bipes fully assembled. A 68 inch Boeing P-12 and a Tigre Moth 66 inch. It takes a bit of advanced thinking but a van can haul a lot of stuff.

Bunda, I don't know what you're used to flying but I've been able to carry my Top Flite Giant Stik and my Byron's Corsair with my Smart ForTwo!

For you who even remember it, I used to carry my Eagle 63 in/on my Bertone X1/9, and a passenger. Also, carried a Sig 1/4 J3 in my BMW 2002.
