Default Building a flight box

The SIG Field Boss is too heavy out of the box. My father in law has one.

After seeing his, I opted for the SIG mini boss. It has less space, but about 1/2 the weight. It comes with a 1/2 gallon fuel tank, which has been plenty of fuel for me each time I'm at the field. The power panel side comes off so that you don't have to take the whole box to the flight line.

Also, I've found that the TX will sit under the handle pretty well.
.Thanks for the info.
Sounds like just what I want.
I have a meter and other electronic items that can go on that panel.
Price looks good also.
The TH box where the battery sits, the sides are thin balsa.
I made a pattern and cut new ones from 1/4 PLY and the box is much stronger but I gave it to a kid because I was not happy with it.
Again thanks for the input
