As a suggestion, go to Home Depot, or local Hardware store, and get
one of those Cardboard Cement post pouring tubes.
Fairly inexpensive, and all you have to do is make sure the diameter
fits the wing chord or tailfin, and you can cut some plywood ends and
screw them in as inserts. Kinda a one use item, but
might work. Mark Smith , and thatis along time ago, used
stovepipe exhausts to do the same thing for his old windfrees.
BTW, I use the tubes in my 4-runner to side my wings and fuses
in when I am on the road. Cheap, and you can pile stuff on top
while still not crushing the plane parts.

I am going to fly to cape cod for business but somehow i want to take a sloper with me.What works on airplanes? Some mag article wrote that a local boxes would do it cheap.Wrongs, not for a 2 meter sailplane. They just dont do it after 15 calls made.One firm in chicago would do it for about $50 becasue they have a cadcam system to cut the cardboard.Im not looking for alum cases yet.
