Build a Tom Scott Fightbox

Post by sahartman21 »

An easily transportable flightbox was needed. The version from Tom Scott (Scott Models) fits my requirements. Below are some pictures of Tom's flight box:

Below are some construction pictures of my kit.

My starting equipment was different than used by Tom. I had to make one of the compartments bigger to fit.

The sides are screwed on. Below is my rough layout.

No box is complete until painted. I used spray paint.

Some black foam was attached with Shoe Goo and the box was assembled. Below is the final box with hardware.

I plan to use the box when I go to the Guadalajara Q40 race in November.

Looks good Scott. The long end panel is tall for tx handles. Can be cut down some as well.
It has worked well for me.
