Necessity is the mother of invention. RC field storage box mini hobby shops are not necessary. Anyone in this hobby long learns to bring spare props glow plugs etc. Engine repairs, servo gear replacemnts, plane rebuilds are seldom done at the field and the parts can be left at home for those tasks, or purchased from what ever source later on. Red and Horrace did a nice job of stating the issues with this idea. As an RC modeler for 25 years and a club president for 7 years this is the least feasible idea about RC fields I have ever heard. Club officiers have all they can do just to collect the dues and watch that everyone keeps their AMA membership current! Post 4 reveals the real motive here, someone hopes to sell storage containers to RC clubs. We will take one if not more than $40 delievered to the field!
Well, not entirely a bad idea IMO. At one time we had a modeler here that had a nice "stock" of parts in his trailer that he sold to us. Was very helpful at times... made flying days out of "problem days" many times. I don't think ctrout's intentions are to sell containers but just to explore the possibilities...
