Default Suitcase Plane!

My job will be requiring more long distance travel, though less time in the office (yippee!). I'd like to bring a plane along to fly. My 30% Katana and 35% Giles 202 just don't fit in the suitcase

For sure I'll be hunting around at Toledo, but I'd also appreciate your suggestions and experience on the subject. I've got one of those roll-around stand-up suitcases, 29", and the plane needs to break down and fit in approximately half of the case so I've got room for support equipment and clothing.

This is the criteria I've come up with:
Wingspan: 36" - 48"
Length: 24" - 26"
Electric
3D
Two-piece wing
Removable fin or stab

Scratch, kit or ARF? I think the Tantrum from Mountain Models could be redesigned to meet your specs.

My traveller is Ron Fikes Winglet II. WS approx 29 in. Two piece. Easy build and a great flying bird. You can get the plans through the RSA site.
