I just finished putting my first electric together an E-Flite Ultimate and was wondering what type of gear or repair accessories most people would put in their flight boxes.
I know about the gas planes but wasn't sure about electrics.
Thanks !!

It's a little bit different for each genre of electric aircraft, I'd think. For foamies, you'd want packing tape and epoxy for quick field repairs, for example.
Generally speaking, you'd want most of what you'd have in a normal glow field box: Screwdrivers, pliers, extra props. A cheap multimeter can be handy to diagnose power problems at the field.
If lead-acid batteries weren't so heavy, I'd recommend a pair of 6V golf cart batteries for all-day charging.

Thanks Matt Kirsch for the reply, I was curious what other people have in there boxes.
I'll pick up some thin CA and accelerator and some packing tap as you suggested.
