I know a lot of people like power panels, but I never use mine anymore. I'm kind of sorry I cut a hole in my box for it. Heck! I'm sorry I spent money on something I just don't use. Anyway, my box has held up fantastic. Those "trunk gremlins" (heehee) are gonna have a tough time messing it up. IMHO, it's the best way to carry ALL of your flying stuff. Billy really did us right on this one!
