I am not one to carry fuel in a flight box especially after witnessing a local experiance severe burns on hand and arm by picking up a flight box that was on fire in bright daylight. Alcohol burns virtually invisably in daylight. It was not a lithium fire it was fuel residue and poor maintenace. I do not use power panels as uneccesary and wasted cost, a potential fire hazard if fuel is carried on board.

The first pictures are of the old Hobby Shack box, seems the original had wooden legs but the acturally are better than the alum types which each leg has to be pulled down separately. The wooden ones extend two at a time.

The box in wood finish with the alum leggs is the one that normally stays in my truck all the time. I only use the leggs on occasion at some other flying sites or shorelines where its difficult for me to tailgate.

The little flightline or Startline box is the only one that goes to the pits/starting tables etc. and this is how I carry my fuel.
