Since I fly 2 & 4 stroke planes, I needed a box to hold the fuel for both. That is one hard to find box. I never did find one so I made my own. What do you think? If anyone is interested I have these plans in AutoCad. (Free)

Boy! that looks great! Do you really need a different type of fuel for the 4c?
I would like a copy of you plans!
Thanks

Remember, you have to have AutoCad to open them. If I get time I will put them in PDF. My spare time is spent flying right now.

Superb job Gootrod ! It has some resemblance of the SIG field boss. How long did it take you from design to finishing ?

I didn't keep track of the design time. I guess the basic design was a couple of hours. I have AutoCad in my shop, so I made a few updates during the building phase. The building part was two good weekends and a few evenings in between. Since I have the jigs built now, I think I could build another one pretty quick. A good wood worker could knock one out in no time.

Thanks for your comments
Charlie
