Here is what I came up with. The main box started as a Great Planes flight box, not sure what generation. Its the model that does not have a removable fuel tote. The new tote on the other hand came from a different generation box that did have a removes side. My original setup was stolen from my truck about a month ago and this is my Version 2 setup. I had considered cutting up my original Sig Field Boss but its too nice to cut so I used this model instead.

The larger starter has two 7 cell NIMH batteries. If they don't work I have two 2S 4500 MH LiPo hard-pack batteries to try next. The smaller one has the GP Battery pack, its a 4ah gel cell, for my 40 size stuff.

NOTE** Will someone please tell me how to edit and rotate the pictures? For some reason they all posted sideways and I cannot figure out how to delete duplicates.

Thanks,
Bill S.

Those look good. Simple is good. I now carry minimal tools in my flight box. The extra tool box I carry holds the little used tools and other supplies. Works good.

Regarding the pictures, if you are using an iPad it has to do with the camera position as you shoot the picture. I was getting upside down pictures. Turns out, in landscape position with camera in lower right side pictures turned out upside down. With camera in the upper left position pictures came out normal. I don't use portrait position too much but I also had a problem with pictures.

Well, I skipped the paper bag phase since I came into flying from racing rc cars so I knew the importance of having tools handy. I've caught my share of good natured ribbing at the field for bringing my loaded for war Goldberg Monster Tote and I'm sure the OP will too but that's fine, If anybody at the field needs something I'm glad to help when I can and if it lets me finish a day flying rather than spectating then all the grunting to get it in and out of the bronco is worth it.
