Status: offline 		And easy and cheap wing tote, or carrying bag can be made from shipping blankets. Simply go to Harbor Frieght or where ever you can get them pick up a 72x80 blanket for about $11.00.
If your wings are greater than 80" get two of them and sew them together. But if 80 or less one will do fine. Simply fold the blanket over in three equal parts, making sure the length is 80' and sew them together. Or you can make two individual bags for wing halves. But is is too simple to make one bag and put both halves in and fold them over.
You can use Zippers, Snaps or Velcroto attach them together if you like. But a large needle and thread works great.
Wala a very nice tote bag and you did not have to spend a lot of money... Now your wings won't get beat up when you travel to the flying field.

Thanks for the tip. I have seen guys use the shipping blankets and they work good. I have some Harbor Freight blankets but did not use them.

Another great way is what a freind and I call the "poor man's wing bag." I make mine out of Reflectix and a roll of contractor grade duct tape. A whole roll of Reflectix is around 40 dollars at Lowes or Home Depot.

I think I have made five sets out of that one roll and two were 30cc planes! Works great and is lighter in weight too. I just put some Velcro on the flap and good-to-go.
