Well, thanks to your inspiration, I have combined the two into my own creation. I'm not sure what to call it, but it is like the "Ultimate Field/Charge Box from Heaven"!

I'd sure like you to take a look at it and let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them.

Below are some thumbnail pictures and you can find all the details on my website by Clicking Here

Thanks again Billy for the inspiration.

Status: offline 		The wooden panel in the top box serves two purposes. [list=1]
  • It is the master power panel with switches, charging posts, auto-style (cigarette) port for my power inverter, voltmeter, and wiring harness.
  • It also contains a switched fan to cool my eFlight and other battery backs that slide underneath
    [/list=1]
    The following picture lays out details and can be clicked on for a larger view...


    The white box in the lower bin contains the charging station for the field box battery cell. The charging station contains special circuitry that will peak and monitor the battery condition to keep it fully charged without over charging it. I can charge the field box battery both from a 110v AC source as well as a 12v DC source while traveling.
    The following picture shows whats inside the white box.


    If you get a chance, check out the web-pages I have created that detail the construction of my field box. You can find them by CLICKING HERE

    Thanks for looking and I appreciate the input.

    Status: offline     		After reading all 336 threads on the ultimate field box, and after a long search for a B&D tool box I'm ready to start my box design.

    I need to be able to carry two different types of fuels. I've read that some people are using plastic tupperware type jugs to carry their fuels, and are still able to fit them in the lower compartment with out cutting up the tray above.

    Can someone give an update on how those jugs are holding up?

    Are most people who use two containers, switching fuel pick up lines from the pump back and forth between containers or are you using some kind of valve to switch between containers?

    How are you hooking up your vent lines, and capping them after fueling?

    I'm trying to set up a system that will allow me to fuel my ducted jet or prop plane w/o having to open the bottom compartment to switch or cap off fuel lines.

    Any suggestions ?

    Thanks,

    Steven

    I have been using two Rubbermaid jugs for a while now and have had no problems with it so far. Check out the Rubbermaid jug that I am using on this thread

    I think I'll check out those rubbermaid jugs.
    As far as my plumbing, I 'm going to install a tee between the vent lines from each jug and exit the one line out of the field box to a fueling dot. Then install 2 more fueling dots, one for the ducted fan fuel and the other for the prop plane fuel. For a total of three fueling dots mounted and labeled on the field box. When I want to refuel I'll uncap the vent and one of the the fueling dot then plug in the pump line from the pump mounted on the out of the box. When I bring both planes to the field, this will keep me fro
