Re: [RCSE] A possible sport tube alternative
As far as I am concerned there is no alternative for the Sports Tube,
especially if you use the machined side stops, to protect tour model length.
Are we pissing and moaning aboutr replacements because Soaring oriented vendors
are selling them?
Does anyone really know what these things cost versus what they are being sold
for?
I would venture to say with condifence that these vendors offer the Sports Tube
as a convienence to our hobby, as there is no margin to speak of...
I too Travel a bunch, and try to take my model. I do not use the airlines so
much, I use Fed Ex...
cost me 80 bucks one way, to ship to the SWC.
I did not have to worry bout the airlines losing it ,or the TSA turning my TX
on and them closing the tube back up..
If you are too cheap to deal with the sports tube, only because of the cost,
then you get what you pay for ...live with it..
BTW, I still have a set of "Bostic" sailplane boxes, and 1 Ship Miller
fiberglass airplane box....
These guys quit making these boxes cause no one would buy them....
" A possible sport tube alternative'
Long live the "Sports Tube"
My $.02 worth

I checked out the links and while I saw the sizes, I didn't see the part
where they collapse down to fit in a rental car trunk.
Can you
point me to that part of the website?
You see I travel a lot with my sailplanes and could use a case with wheels,
and handles, big enough to fit two unlimited ships, my charger, all the pieces
and the steel pole that make up my Plane Perch...and fits the no charge
exception for sporting goods at a glance.
Oh yeah it has to protect my planes when the case makes it part way up the
conveyor to the airliner's luggage hold, the falls off to the ground about 10'
or so.
Thanks
