Traveling with Multiroters

How to transport (in this case a tricopter) using as little room as possible, but still keeping it safe from Hanger rash. it will probably work for all types of rc Planes. just wont come out the same way, but the prosedure is kind of the same.  

The first step is to make a box that fits your plane. measure op the height, width, and length when fully folded together. if you have a plane, remove the wing and lay it beside the plane as demonstrated bellow

Then you need to actually make the box. take the widest parts of and use them for the specifications for the sides. it can be made out of any relatively stiff material, wood, depron cardboard, you name it.

After you have made the box, it is time to move on to the next step, fitting and securing all the parts; batteries, monitor for FPV and transmitter.

Important tips for packing

#1 always disconnect as many plugs from your devices as possible. this will prevent it from being yanked and bumped during transport.

#2 Keep your batteries protected, preferably a Lipo Safe bag. this will prevent fire during a short circuit, and protect is from sharp edges and objects.

#3 also disconnect your antennas, as they can be pretty fragile, Cloverleafs and such.

A fast tip for you guys, to protect an cloverleaf/skewplaner antenna, but it inside of a tabletennis ball, i have crashed several times land upside down with the antenna pointing strait down, hasn´t broken yet. 

And there you go. 

by the way, if you want to walk around with it, make a handle of some kind and carry it around, you can put transmitter, and extra in your bag:-)
