RE: QUestion about field supplies
Aside from the bits and bob's that have found their way into my field tool box, CA, a screw driver, alan key set, a socket to remove the glow plugs, re-chargeable glow driver, an engine starter and for powering it, a small portable re-chargeable 12v car jump starter pack and a fuel pump is all I tend to need (excluding fuel). Aside from the jump starter pack, that all fits into my tool box that I use, so there are limited boxes I need to lug around, which keeps it nice and simple.
On a side note, a 'stab in the ground' tail holder is something I need to stop the planes moving forward when started, it's a must have that I'm lacking and need to fix.
The ONLY reason I have not converted my starter to Lipo, is that I don't use lipo on anything, since my heli's and planes all use 5cell/6v Nimh packs like I always have, I never brought a good multi-chemestry charger, and can't be bothered with the expense.
