Default RE: Which Field box??

This the best box I've ever owned. I hate the purpose flight boxes since so much space is wasted in them. Got this at walmart for like 20 bucks. FIts fuel starter, paper towels and cleaner in the bottom. Radios trainer cords and tools up top. Course I've gone wireless on the starter and igniter. I just don't like the power panel, if your not careful you'll pop a plug from over-voltage, they get dirty after a season ot two and allot of the function start becoming finicky, I forgot haw many times the solder joints would come undone on the banana plugs, then cease to hold good contact inside the panel. After awhile any strech at all on the cord the damn thing come flying at ya out of the panel. I see this happening to guys at the feild all day. I just laugh. Start my stuff and go fly. I don't care what your technique is or safe you are about it, the wires around a spinning prop is a safety hazard. sold it off along time ago. I much prefer to hit the wireless starter on it and toss it to on side and then remove the igniter and put it in my pocket with no worry of anything getting in the way. The people I find defending the old corded equipment is just tryiong to deffend their own equipment which is fine. Wait a year or two and see how that stuff is doing. If your igniter isn't holding a charge it cause your not cycling it. All nicds need to be cycled every once in awhile
