Flight box items

[nic]

Trying to assemble a flight box now....

Anyone knows any LHS carries "carry master" combo kit? rotor has a picture of it.. but not in any of their item listing.

Or anyone has any other recommended box? Is there any way to assemble a portable starter?

Nic rotor does shows those things in the 'accesories' header. Inside u got to look out for the header on the top of the page. Btw portable pocket starter very expensive...$189!!!!

whatever box does not matter!

important what is inside that u gonna have!

MONEY!!!!

enjoy!

The "carry master" is actually everything inclusive. USD$99. So I was just wondering if it is available here.

The portable starter from rotor.. any not interested in that.. add in the batts $50, and the hex extension, that tthing cost almost $250.

Jet seem to sell a modified portable version at $140 (inclusive of batts), but I don't recall I saw it at the shop yesterday. Just wondering if anyone has lobang for DIY portable kits like those found in US webs...

Hi

If you going to use for Micro Heli like Dragonfly, I remember that Jett Hobby do sell a metalic (Aluminium?) casing before. I not so sure whether they still got stock or not.

Another possibility is that use the paper box (original packing) of Dragonfly and use it as a template to make another box.

I have this idea but haven't make it to reality yet is that make your tail boom to be screw track at the chopper body so u can screw and unscrew the tail section. Like that u can keep it in 2 parts. U then can use those Computer Notebook casing for transportation.

Thanks Super_Honet... that is actually for raptor... DF don't need starter

[fredrick]

Wah good idea. I still thinking of how to transport the raptor ....
Take a cab from my place to BP like about $35 to and fro.... Gosh..
Hopefully there is a way i can put it inside a bag and carry it while i ride to BP.. Anyone comes across people carry the bird while riding? Possible?

[nic]

fly to BP... + get a .90 airplane and covert it to a tanker for mid air refuel.

hi nic, i wouldn't recommend the carrymaster. i once considered that, but it doesn't have space for anything more than the original stuff inside. there are more stuff which you'll need to bring. i don't have a starter box, but i am able to fit everything in to a bag. this bag contains tool box, transmitter box, fuel jug and electrical starter with on-board battery.

in my small tool box i have:

a small box of spares
a hex driver
allen keys
small plier
big plier
small standard screw driver set
large phillips head screwdriver
ball link pliers
small hammer
multi-head socket plier
snippers
CA
epoxy
locktite
rubber bands
cable ties(I LOVE CABLE TIESSSS!!!!)

this toolbox has everything i currently need to take my whole heli apart and for maintenence. very convenient!

the TX box includes tx, fuel pump, glow starter, neck strap and cloth.

i chose to go with a starter with the on-board battery as i am not able to lug the extra heavy weight of the seperate lead acid battery around. with this setup, i don't use a power panel and lead acid battery.

all this into one bag, and the heli in the other hand, i can take public transport around. taking cabs to the flying field is way beyond my reach. only times i take cab is, when i take a bus from my house to the CCK area, then hop into a cab for the short ride to the field. taking the bird in a lrt is a PITA

Brandon u bought the portable pocket starter? how much u bought it? where?

I see, branzzz has the same fetish for cable ties like i do!!!! Dun get wrong ideas Ja, i like the small ones for holding wires in place neatly.

Art, ya got a cam? Why not show him photo of your field box? The Thunder Tiger one which rotor carries not too good, the whole thing loading up is so bloody dang heavy and cumbersome. It's hard to carry anything else with it! I was helping James carry it when i followed him around last time.... it's got no other space so james had to carrry the tool box in his "school" bag.... jialat.

Branzzz, there is also a carrying bag of sorts for the rappie... wonder if rotor sells it.
