[NSRCA-discussion] Cars

[Mike Hester]

I got an 88 Saab 900 a while ago and have managed to get myself, the wife, a computer, our luggage, a plane and all of our gear in it comfortably. Most people look at that and go "how"????? but for almost 38 miles to the gallon, it beats this van =)

  I have seen some show up to a pattern contest in cars small enough to fit in the trunk of my Harley with their gear. I choose the full size 8ft. box pickup with canopy, which leaves room for a friend and his gear. On a non-flying day, you can actually carry something in the back like two tons of pellets. 

  This message all the way from San Diego where the wild fires are looming. (safe in my motel)

  FYI - You can fit:

  3 2-meter airplanes

  2 foamies

  3 adults

  2 transmitters

  1 flight box

  1 tool box

  1 case of fuel 

  1 10x10 canopy tent

  2 chairs

  2 suitcases

  1 cooler

  and 

  1 12-pack of Bass Ale 

  in a Grand Caravan with Stow-N-Go. AND you'll still get about 24 Mpg on the highway. Now for the bad part: you'll have to deal with the "Soccer mom" jokes from your flying buddies... <LOL>
