Default RE: Flight Boxes

My set up is a standard plastic tool box because I like to prepare for essentially any repair or tweak that I would be willing to make at the flying field as opposed to waiting until I get home. It's not crazy heavy but definitely not for lugging about either. I built myself a minimalist "flight line box" as I call it that has my fuel can and a pocket for my wireless starter, glow driver, a couple of small screwdrivers for adjusting low speed needles, and a glow driver and plug wrench. That's the only thing that leaves the pit area. I also have a separate radio and charger case because I couldn't find any way to fit my electronics into my tool box without them getting damaged. For what it's worth, if you can attach a battery pack to your starter it is so much more convenient and a little safer than messing with a lead acid battery or a power panel.
