Default RE: Skywalker FPV

I discovered that Sears sells a range of sizes in empty plastic Craftsman cases from $7 to $25. I bought three different sizes and the one shown houses most of my FPV ground equipment including the 15.6" LCD TV with a few modifications. I used a couple Velcro One-Wrap straps to hold the LCD TV into the case. I'll likely add an external shade that wraps around it to block the sun, if needed.

My plan is to initially have a friend watch the flight on the LCD TV while I fly the SkyWalker and visa-verse. Once I get comfortable with the range and operation, I will likely buy a headset. I already had the LCD TV, which works great on a 3-cell 5AH LiPo pack.
