(you are allowed to have the top open itself, so you can look out, and radiate heat. no other emmissions (radio, com laser, etc) allowed. Also these things are the size of a 30gal trash can, it would be awfuly hard to fit it in. no reason not to do it, it just will have to go up as a regular load. that is a lot more expensive... (it is claimed that the cost of a getaway is less than the cost of the extra fuel required....) Jeff
