Hi folks, I'm going to attend the ECHLG contest up in North Carolina next week, and I finally have all of my planes working. However, I still don't have a box built for my Sportube. This is a mostly obvious exercise, but I feel like I should try to leverage the inventiveness of others who might have come up with superior packing solutions.
I took this picture of Oleg's cardboard nice box last year: http://www.diff.net/media/2003_10_12_East_Coast_HLG_contest/img_2990.htm My situation won't be as pretty as his, because I have three planes which all have differing amounts of dihedral and two with non-removable stabs. I'm confident that I can make it work given the materials I have, but it would be nice to see if there are any other pictures of travel carriers for hand launch planes out there. My current working set of materials includes two 4x8 sheets of 1/4 light plywood, a sheet of blue foam, plenty of glue/nails, and a sportube in the mail. I might go for a hybrid plywood/cardboard box, or I might put some lightening holes in the redundant parts of plywood, but it doesn't seem like it will be that heavy. I've searched the archives, but I haven't found too many good pictures. Any pictorial suggestions? Thanks, Peter Melbourne, FL -- Peter Jensen ... http://www.diff.net/peter ...
