Re: Post the tools & equipment you lug to the air field Being gone from the hobby for many years and just ramping things up again, i have a limited arsenal, and often go to the field with just plane/heli, Tx, and charged batt's. If i have a problem or chew thru batteries, I go home....  Cant wait to end up with a full-on trailer and toyz!  Then maybe i could have fit ScaleGuy's Edge into it. (unfortunately, i am not there yet...but joined IMAC this week)I take the pelican case and contents for expected hard days, with longer play times available. (but even then, some of the items I bring are for shop repairs and not field repairs) Lets see where this off season goes.  Scott-2242 |

Re: Post the tools & equipment you lug to the air field WOW, some of you carry a lot of stuff. For me, beside a couple of heli, and planes, all I need is a smile, the radio, batteries and charger. Do all my checking before I leave, so I don't need to carry screwdriver etc. and if I really need, there is always somebody at the club that I can borrow for a few minutes. |

Re: Post the tools & equipment you lug to the air field When I first got back into RC flying I was flying nitro and would bring everything but the kitchen sink. I like using fishing tackle boxes to pack the gear and have been resorting to using bigger boxes so that I don't have a bunch of small ones. However, since getting bitten by the foamy bug my nitro planes are gathering dust as those foamies are so much fun and easy to build/maintain/repair. When I go out 'just to fly', I literally only bring the plane, radio, batt charger and batts plus a few props and prop saver o rings. I like to do RC stuff when I go camping in the summer and then it's on - I bring EVERYTHING! - I even have an inverter for my glue gun and soldering iron. I bring sheets of foam, cases of building materials, cases of tools, my cutting matt - pretty much pack up my whole workshop and bring it with me. |
