Flight box on wheels?
Call me lazy, but if I can push or pull rather than carry a fuel can, battery, starter, pump and all the other assorted accoutrements :cool: back and forth between the Jeep and the flight line, I'm all for it.
I have a couple of ideas, but figured it might be worth a check so I don't end up re-inventing the wheel if someone's already done this. If I'm REAL lucky, Minnflyer has diagrams already! :) I'm thinkin' two wheels and a skid on the bottom (tail draggin' style, of course) and a pull handle kinda like on a golf bag hand cart. Battery compartment and fuel can at the bottom with tool box compartments closer to the top. Maybe even a plane cradle. Anyone ever built anything like this? |

Easy. A Radio Flyer red wagon. That has four wheels, but you could rig up a skid in place of the rear two if you really wanted.
The name is even perfect for the job. |

There's a guy at my field who uses a wagon to move his flight box around. It works fairly well.

I picked up this type of toolbox from Lowes for about $30 I put the fuel and battery in the lower box and the radio and tools in the upper part

If you want to simplify things a bit, you can build or buy whatever kind of field box you want, and then use a folding luggage carrier (the kind that looks like a dolly) to haul around your box. This way works well, is cheap, and doesn't take up a lot of extra space. You can pick up a luggage carrier for around 10 to 15 dollars at department stores.
Just another idea. -bsc |

What'd I tell y'all? I WAS lucky! :)
I'm thinkin' that my old golf bag cart may be minus its wheels here directly! |
