What kit to build for........
......a skydiving plane. i want to build something over the winter but i am having a tough time findng the plane i want. it will be used to drop skydivers and i would like it to be big. however, i have a small car so i would say about 85" wing at the most. the Senor telemaster is too big. any ideas?

http://www.mraerodesign.com/pc6/PC6.HTML but it is a 120" W.S. The only Pilatus Porter kit I could find.
One of the members of my club uses his Flying King for a candy drop. He raved about the build quality. It rolls very axially and has very tight loops, now I'm not saying it is an Extra but it's aerobatics is much better than my LT-40.

If you are like me, ARFs aren’t my favorite but the Great Planes Big Stik 60 ARF is a monster with a 66.5 wing span (1k sq. in.) and it’s covered with MonoKote. It will take a .60-.91 size engine. The ARF is well done and will lift large stumps!

Hmmm.. how do you convince them to jump? Balsa brains?
I'm sure I sound like a smart-arse but I'm really just THAT new to rc aircraft. I'm on my 1st kit plane and my kid is already asking.."where are bombs and machine guns?" It makes me pause...hmmm..
where and what are those pieces of balsa wood and how dare I place them.. that makes the plane fly!!!!

I built the Telemaster for my club as A trainer and ended up being the keeper of the plane, I had A Hundi Scoop at the time , the seats in back went down and I was able to slide the wing through the trunk up to the front window and had the fuse nose on the floor up front and just touching the roof, I also hauled an Up-Roar in the back too so it can be hauled if you work at it.
The Flying King is A better plane though if you have the bucks for the kit, it's well built and they feel worth the price, so do I.
No mater how you do it though, Giants and small cars are A pain.
