Hey Dan; This is'nt for just my benefit it's for everyone. People are inventive about things and I thought there would pics posted.
And someone might get a O WOW NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT moment.

OK I got pictures ;)

Most people start out buying or using the biggest most all encompassing boxes possible. I would say over time most will come full circle at least to some degree and start attempting to reduce weight as well as unneccssary 'stuff'

These first pictures are my primary box and the only one that comes to the flight line I do use a slightly larger box that never comes out of the truck at my home field and only sometimes visiting other fields for events.

The startline box is configured for what ever type of aircraft I may be operating on any one day.

RE: Flight Boxes
 

Here are situations where I needed to use the larger box that normally stays in my truck since the difficulty of getting back to the truck due to the distance was difficult. In this situation I used either a small push truck to load everything or in the one photo a roll around cart that also doubled as a work/starting station (with someone holding the aircraft of course):

Okay, game's on.

"I think that covers 90% of what you need."

is nonsense of course, for any part of the 10 percent you have to go back home!!!


So, who is the "Availability of special tools contest winner!" , the ultimate friend of any other pilot on the field!!!!!!

My indoor toolbox is totally different than the regular one too.  It has the Dollar Store 2.5 power eyeglasses, scotch tape, hemostats, multi charger and very small screwdrivers. A hot gluegun would be a premium item. I usually bring a helmet and safety glasses too.  (maybe body armour is a good idea too?)

That's why my check list is most important, even the transmitter antenna is mentioned on this list!!!!!

I use the Cowboy Hardhat.  Keeps the sun and rain off.  It makes me look pretty too?  Have added vent holes into the sides, and lowered it a bit so it doesn't feel so wobbly.

Lower it more and you will look prettier, lowest position is the best!!
