A field box is one of the most important pieces of equipment that any RC helicopter or RC airplane enthusiast can have. Having a properly stocked field box can save you the hassle of making trips back home to repair a damaged RC vehicle and lengthen the amount of time you can spend flying. The box pictured is designed to hold all the necessary equipment for nitro powered engines. This box is designed to hold a nitro fuel container which is mounted on the left side. There are drawers on the front which can hold essential equipment such as: glow plugs, chargers, a backup start stick, rubber bands, etc. On the right side there is a smaller compartment that holds a battery which is used to run the power panel that is mounted on right end of the box. This power panel is used to power the glow igniter, engine starter and the fuel pump. The fuel pump is actually mounted on the back of the box and has two hoses which can be used to pump fuel into and out of the RC vehicle’s gas tank. There are two sets of folding arms located on the top of the box that can be used to hold an RC airplane if you need to work on it. There is also a large tray in the top of the box for any other equipment you wish to carry that might be too big for the drawers, such as the transmitter. You can see my starter and glow plug igniter sitting on the table to the right of the box, these will sit in the tray over the battery box, and you can see there is a cut out for them to sit in.
Additionally, carrying a multiple battery field charger pictured here can help to recharge the battery packs for transmitters and receivers.
