Hello, please help, I want your help how i can buy or build a field box very small and include battery,air pump, and fuel pump.Thank you for answers and photos of your own.

I use this. The compressor mounts above the power panel. 10 litres of fuel (enough for a day's flying), pump & filter, battery with enough capacity to charge between flights, fuel, defuel & pump up retracts mounted in base. - John.

I don't want any field object to be too heavy so I leave the fuel separate and built this box. Top is Lipo charge, then fast charger, compressor and 12volt gel cel in the bottom.

Jonh. nice setup. How heavy is it?
I have since modified it so the handle swings to one side to change the fuel container rather than sliding the handle out. - John.

A friend (which is both a jetpilot and a CAD guy [8D]) and me, made these, they are heavy, but very nice to have everything in "one box", air and fuelpump are located in the bottom of the trolley together with two 28 amp/h Gel batteries. On top is 20 ltr's of kero
I charge my planes from the trolley at the field (so does some of my flying buddies
)

i replaced my compressor and battery with a Black & Decker 500 amp Jump Starter / Inflater, weights about 6 lbs and if need be it'll jump your vehicle off. it has a 12v lighter outlet and i planned to add banana plugs and a deans connector to the front panel, but haven't as of yet.

Here is my box for nitro powered planes - I'll build something similar for the jet over winter.
The basic chassis came from B&Q ( Home Depot) and the upper half detaches with two clips on the sides. In the base I have fuel and two 12v gel batteries and the power panel. I installed a 24v outlet on the side ( both batteries in series ) and they operate in parallel to supply the power panel.

The upper half has a lift out tool tray with space below for a starter; boxes of useful stuff; my insurance document; spare props etc.
