For those that fly electric control line I am wondering what you use for a flight box ?
And what all do you bring to the field.
I assume that one would bring propeller,batteries and flight line.
But not sure what else one should plan on needing.
I remember bringing a tube of ambroid glue among many other things when i flew gas models.
Pictures would be nice.

All the stuff I'd normally carry, minus fuel and igniter plus chargers a small 500 watt 2 stroke generator and a 50 foot extension chord, those two strokes stink...lol

Jim,
I use a Sear Craftsman tool bag for the tools. I use the ammo case for the batteries. I took a piece of aluminum flashing and bent it to form vertical separators that I slide the batteries into. I mark the battery ends one side with green tape the other with red. I put them in green side up when they are charged and red side after a flight. Has worked well for several years, you can get the ammo case at an Army/Navy store or online, under $10.

Best, DennisT

I use a plastic caddy which has a handle in the center and two troughs (hard to describe).

I always wrap a rubber band around a battery when I charge it. I have to remove the rubber band to install the battery in a plane so I know that any battery without a rubber band has been used!!

Ammo box for batteries, and a small bag for my reel and handle.

If I need anything more than that I go home!
