Hi all, I'm pretty new to the helicopter scene and am on my third helicopter. (Sounds like the start to a Helicopters Anonymous meeting, eh?)

I have a Walkera 5#4 co-axial, a EF Sabre FP heli, and my newest is the Falcon 3D. Helicopter storage is starting to become an issue, the original boxes are a pain and when I would go to the hobby shop to shop I'd see guys bringing in their helicopters in these slick cases. I said "That's what I need" but when I checked out the prices, well they just seemed too high for what you got.

Or maybe I'm cheap...

Plus why spend my hard earned money on field gear when you will be needing it for parts and other flying bling right? I had read this online article that some Stanley toolbox from Lowes would fit my Falcon perfectly, but alas, when I went to my local Lowes that partucular size was no where to be found, nor was any other box of an appropriate size.

So I zipped over to Home Depot and saw the "Fat Max". I thought "Cool" it's the perfect size, it's waterproof (that's got to be a bonus the others don't have), and it's only a couple of dollars more than the chromey Stanley box I didn't find.

I took my new case home extracted the styrofoam from the origial helicopter box and went to work with my hacksaw. It was quite messy but after a few minutes I had trimmed the foam to fit perfectly inside. I now have an inexpensive waterproof carrying case that also has a tool tray for all my electric flying necessities.

Fat Max Dimensions: Outside W: 28" H: 11 1/2" D: 12 1/2"
Inside W: 24 1/4" H:10 1/2" D: 9 1/2
(You are probably thinking "4" less width?" It's true but due to the handles the built into the sides for carrying) One last thing, this case is strong, I can easily stand on it, I weight an incredible 250lbs.
