You'll need some hand tools and spare parts:

Tools:
Glow plug wrench
Screwdrivers
Prop wrench


Spare parts:
Props - you break them while training
Glow Plugs - they burn out
Rubber bands or spare wing bolts


These are the most basic items. You'll end up wanting or needing to carry more but this is a start.

A metric and standard set of allen wrenches are always handy, and also a small set of straight and phillips screwdrivers. A good quality small cresant wrench is also a good tool to have for loosening and tightening your prop nuts. Some windex and a roll of paper towels to clean your Plane off when you are finished flying for the day, plus a chicken stick is always handy to have as a backup if your main battery is getting low. These are just a few suggestions. Some people like to go to the field light, and then there are people like me who like to take everything but the kitchen sink. The club I fly at is about a 20 minute drive for me, and nothing makes me more mad then to get there and not have what I need.
