I need a little advise from anyone that transports a two meter plane in a pickup truck without a cap.

 

I'm considering purchasing a pickup truck with a 6.6 foot box and flat hard cover over the box, a cap is not in consideration. Currently, I transport an Etude and looking to add an Invitation next year. 

 

I test fit my Etude this evening in a F-150 with a hard cover over the box and the clearance was extremely tight with the canopy on.  Once the canopy was removed is was workable. I do not have an Invitation to trial fit but I'm guessing with the T Can and taller fuselage this may prove to be a problem, but I'm only guessing here.

 

Any thoughts or experience would be helpful.

 

Thanks fellas 

MB Gosson
