What A box !
I just got my flight box from Sidewalk flyers. I got it after reading the RCU review in the RCU online magazine .. this thing is perfect for jets ! big, with a lot of space for carying anything you want ! the cradle on it is nice and big too.. it even holds my PCM L1011 with no problem ! The quality is top notch ! Last box I had was one of those Hobbico edals, that fell appart on me after a season of flying ..
I will recommend this to any serious modeler ! its $100, but worth every penny ..

What A box !
I used to have one of those huge superdeluxe woodcrafters boxes. After several seasons of dislocated arms slugging that around, I got rid of it. Now I use just a little box. You'll probably end up coming around full circle on this, like I did. But you have to try it for yourself!

Woj,
Nice box BUT I think the idea is to keep the workshop at home and be ready to fly at the field. Lugging huge boxes and ground support equipment, I believe discourages the wannabe RC or jet flyer with the percieved notion that all this equipment is required to support a model airplane. All the preparatory work should be done at the shop and a good preflight is all that normally needs to be done at the field. Spare parts can be kept in a neat little organizer in your vehicle and accessed if needed.
Especially with the JetCats or other popular autostart jets, I think it's more impressive to just carry the jet out there with your radio (Fire Equipment nearby ;-), and just start the thing and taxi out. Although I still use my GSU on a new JetCat 120 most of the time, I will probably start to use it less as I get better acquainted with the personality of this motor.
Just my opinion...
