I often take my planes on business trips. The best way i have found
so far is a Bow Case i purchased from Walmart for $25. It is hard
black plastic and is intended for a compound bow with arrows. It is
51" long and about 6" deep and I think 20" wide. I got it at a
Walmart in Albuquerque NM. I'm not sure where you live, but I have
not seen them in CA. Different Walmarts seem to carry different
stock. I have fit 4 planes in there at once. A Trick R/C Razor, a
60" Balsa Sail Plane (wing cut in half), and 2 Lite-sticks. It will
fit my Zagi 400x. I need to adjust the elevons a little, but I think
I can even leave the tiplets attached.
