Status: offline 		I have been using a Great Planes master caddy. Then I saw the "Box from Hell". I got one made by another company, but it looks identical to the Black & Decker. Soooo much more room. Love the wheels and "two box" design. There is a place for everything I could possible need. I even have two Futaba radios in the top part on one side and still have tons of space on the other side. I do have to unscrew the antennas but that's no big deal. Oh, and I don't use the top tray. I just don't need it. I can't imagine using my old caddy again. I think I'll give it away.

Thanks for a GREAT idea!

Status: offline 		This post shows if the industry would make a better box and stepped into the next century they would have made some $$$$$$. Hey pay attention to the Modeler, we have the ideas and the money.We can't do it all for ya.True RC has come a long long way, but we still have a long way to go. The box from HELL
is just 1 example. where are these guys that get paid to come up with this stuff, flyin?????

Keep up the ideas, great work

Status: offline 		You got to like it when your hobby is paying the mortgage. With two kids now (one just came) I don't have time for the hobby at home or on the weekend. I'm ecstatic that I get paid to do what I enjoy the most....talk about planes, promote planes, fly planes, get reviews done on planes, create ads about planes and spend the day with great people. I'm really excited about it. I owe much of it to RCU and all the guys that helped me learn what I know to get this far. THANKS!

Status: offline 		It is my H9 1/4 Super Cub. I didn't put the wheel pants on and replaced the stock wheels with DuBro Cub wheels. I will put a picture of it up when I get home. I haven't flown it yet (been too rainy here) but look to get it up in the air this weekend or next. It has a G-23 under the cowl. I started the engine this past weekend, but left the wing tube at home. Hopefully I will have some good weather this weekend. It is amazing how some people want to overpower this cub with G-38!!!!! From the ground test, it will have more than enough power to move this plane around. It is my first gasser.

Status: offline 		Astrohog,

Wanted to say thanks for the tip on the fuel cells. I grabbed a couple over at the local WM and they work great! BTW, you guys out there that decide on this fuel cell idea, take the cap from your fuel jug and move it to the cell. It fits perfectly!

Billy,

Hats off to you for such a great idea! I've been watching this post for a while to glean the "best of the best" on conversions of this box. I've been silent the whole time but now that my wife and I are looking to finally get started on this project, I wanted to speak up and say "thanks". On the side, Billy, congrats on the new arrival! We had our first child last year and she's 10 months old now. Kids sure do add a challenge to spending time with R/C, but they are great, aren't they? Thanks again for the great tip!

Status: offline 		Well I got my (fuel cell) figured out. Went with a 2 gallon clear similar to astrohog's 1 1/4 gallon.
It would not fit in the bottom section of the all so popular Box from Hell,so I took a hair dryer softened it up and pushed it into position PERFECT FIT plus its 2 gallon

I took a 1 gallon milk Jug lid and some blue silicone form a gasket and secured the bottom hole HOPE it works I will let it set a day or so before the test (ANY advice)

My cell will go in the bottom of the top
