Default Building a flight box

I'm not an expert when it comes to wood but I think any plywood will weigh more then some other wood the same thickness.
So you may be able to get the box down to 7-10 pounds.

Getting to the fuel how does the fuel do while sitting in the pump?
Do you pump any fuel in the pump back into the jug at the end of the day?
I believe that 13.25 pounds is without the battery, just the box. I will weigh it tonight.

I usually don't leave any fuel in the pump. When I drain my fuel tank it leaves the pump dry too.

I also leave the fuel jug connected in the flight box and don't recap it or anything. The Kwik-Fill has an o-ring seal and I have not had any problems with moisture in the fuel. But, I live in Idaho and we have pretty low humidity.
