Default A NEW KIND OF BUILD THREAD, for those of you . . .

. . . who have always wanted to know how to build a flight box.

Here we are with a different kind of build, this thread is about building my new Sig Field Boss flight box. All the parts are die-cut which makes it very simple and the parts fit perfect.

Photos 4 - 6 show the box base (bottom), upright rear panel, and the two vertical handle supports glued and clamped together. I am using a simple Elmer’s white glue for the build, which dries clear and very strong.

I started to build my flight box as the left wing panel of my Tower Trainer 40 is still in the drying stage. Hopefully I will be able to post the updated pics in that build thread by later tonight.

Does anyone know of any wood stain that is fuel-proof? I really would like to stain this instead of painting. But I was told that staining shows the wood grains and I don’t wanna see that. So if staining is out, what fuel-proof paint is good for field boxes? Does Rustoleum make a wood stain? Rustoleum is fuel-proof.
