The thread mentioned is good but as a brand new pilot I'd start simple then add from there.

You can find several field boxes available or make your own. a tackle box can also work good. I personally use a stacking plastic tool box.

Make sure you have some basic hand tools: screwdrivers, allen wrenches, crescent wrench, plyers, glow plug wrench, etc. Maybe look the plane over so you know what types of tools and in what sizes you will need.

I'd also toss in a couple extra props, some packing tape for covering repairs, maybe some CA glue, extra rubber bands, a little bit of fuel line and other simple stuff.

You'll see what others take to the field and get some idea from that also.

As you get into the hobby more you can taylor your supplies to your liking. You may find that you like just taking the minimum amount of stuff to fly or you may decide you like hauling around a full shop's worth of tools and materials so you can tackle anything that comes up.

Ty Chuck for the reply for some reason i dont know why that post wont pull up but thanks for the list about starting small b/c I dont want to have to carry alot until I get really into the hobby!

Thunder Tiger has a starter kit called the SideKick. It have everything you need. Its been a year since I have started and I still use all the stuff that comes with it. The box turns into a field box but which you can use for a while.

That's what the packing tape, paper towels and CA glue are for.

I had a doctor put a gash back together one day with something he called "derma-bond" or some name like that. It sure looked, smelled and felt like CA to me.

My daughter when she was 1 was attacked by a dog in her face and the plastic surgon used that stuff to glue her cuts back together and he said if that did not work they were gonna have to do plastic surgery but that stuff does work great! But I always have a First Aid kit in my truck! But yes that is a great idea to have one in your truck when you do go to the field!

Thanks

The first time CA was widely used was for gluing battlefield wounds closed (Vietnam I believe). Later, wood workers and such started noticing it and finally someone had the smarts to give it a name everyone could pronounce (Crazy Glue) and marketed it on TV.

I remmeber those ads with the guy hanging off a steel beam from his hat.
