Default RE: Which Field box??

I am using a plastic tool box that I bought from Wallmart. It was around $20.00 and has seperate compartments under a clear top lid for small stuff such as spare glow plugs. I made a cut out in the front of the box and mounted my power panel in it. I have a 12 volt gel cell battery inside which powers my starter, glow panel, and electric fuel pump. I have a 40 oz. fuel tank inside as well. Lots of room under the main lid for the starter, spare props, and tools. I could probably leave the props at home now. Mostly the flights go well. If they go bad, the poor plane is going to need more than a prop to get it back in the air! A slight bump that is just going to break the prop and nothing else just doesn't happen any more!
