SIG has a nice field box.

If you're smart, and I wasn't, you can dry fit it and make simple changes to make all your stuff fit. Be careful about buying a small field box, you'll probably end up with a lot of stuff, so plan ahead.

If you aren't overly constrained money-wise, I'd stay away from "starter packs". They will get you started, but you end up outgrowing everything pretty quickly.

I would buy a starter, I'm sure the chicken stick works, but I wouldn't try it.

Be careful when buying a battery. I use a lawn mower battery I got from Wal-Mart. Its fine for glow, but doesn't last very long if I fly electric.

I ended up spending more money buying "better" stuff than I would have if I had bought the good stuff first.

Besides, the Pres is probably good for a few more pay raises.
