Hey now,
I prolly go a bit over board, but I drive sixty miles (round trip)
to get good slope and it's a bummer to get grounded. So...
Tools:
Plyers; needle long & short, round, slip joint, locking, ball joint,
Z-bend.
Screwdrivers; Standard 0, 1, 2, 3. Phillips 0, 1, 2, 3. Ball end hex in
comon fractional and metric sizes.
Socket driver with comon fractional and metric sizes.
Small "cresent" wrench.
Glow style "4 way wrench", model car "4 way wrench", stepped reamer,
tapered reamer, X-acto knife & blades, pen, marking pens large & small,
diagonal cutters, wire stripper, butane soldering iron & flux & solder,
Bic lighter, sissors.
Bits & pieces:
CyA glue; thin, foam safe, and kicker (in a *seperate* bag). 5 minute
epoxy, mixing cups & sticks, 1.5 oz glass cloth, latex gloves, spring
clamps, "T" pins, clear "Zagi" tape, strapping tape, electrical tape,
hinge tape, heat shrink tubing various sizes, butane (for iron), desolder
braid, servo wire, servo gear sets in my sizes, servo horns, control
horns, pcboard, clevises, ball joints, threaded rods, tyvek hinges, dental
floss (un waxed), rubber bands, screws of various sizes, nuts & bolts
various sizes, nylon bolts various sizes, reciever xtals various
frequencies, note pad, lead bars from 1/4 oz to twelve oz, saran wrap, and
shame of shames; various electric props, neo sporan ointment, band-aides,
sun screen.
I also carry two battery chargers, batteries both reciever and electric
power packs. Yeah, I admit it I fly electrics too...
Overkill? Prolly, but I can patch any break at the field and often have
the bit *you* need to borrow... It all fits in one tackle box and doesn't
weigh that much at all ;-)
