I was looking for a small field box to use for my electric planes, as I hoped to keep the nitro and electrics separate and this one fit the bill. Very easy to assemble, very good quality wood and with that a great price. I use the end where the power panel would go to store my filed charger cables etc in, and there is plenty of room on top to put youre batteries in as well as a nice panel for screw drivers. The box also has a nice size drawer with plent of room for things you may need at the field. The end where the fuel can would normally sit, I intsalled velcro straps to hold a radio. It does come unpainted and I chose to leave it that way, just used some deck sealer I had around to give it a gloss. This is a nice box that can be used for many purposes and I would recommend it to everyone.

I have had this field box for over two years and it still looks as good as when I first bought it. It's durable lite weight and easy to carry.

i bought this great hangar 9 fully built up flight box two years ago and it has served me very well. it was great value for money and just the right size to hold all the basic items for starting my nitro planes. there is a small drawer which pulls out so u can store a few essential tools. at one end my 12v gel cell battery sits neatly. in top i have my electric starter and also two glow plug starters which sit down into precut holes. its also very attractive and very strong. i wouldnt hesitate for a moment if i had to buy another one. its just perfect.

This was a great beginning to getting into the RC world. The instructions were excellent. The pre-cut boards needed very little adjustment or sanding. The only down side was I wanted to use a clear finish but the combo of different colors of the wood and the different grains made it so I had to paint it a solid color. Some of the decals did not want to stay on while others wont come off at all. Outside of a few days to paint it I finished it in one day. The only extra step I took was to pre-drill small holes for some small nails. Gluing it only seamed a little too risky.

Just getting into Nitro, I think this is an excellent field box for my purposes. It's small and light enough to tote around, plus very durable.

My only complaints:
*The picture is a little deceiving with needing to paint/finish, though it does state as much in the description.
*Some of the wood had some cracks. Nothing that compromised the structure, but tedious to fill with wood putty.
*The power panel plate warped as soon as I took it out of the box. It took a little bit of work to get it workable. Once paint was applied and power panel mounted, it looks as it should for the most part.
*The way the power panel plate is designed to attach is... cheap. In an effort to make it more functional, I used the smallest hinges I could get at the local hardware store, which was only a few dollars.

Design suggestions:
*Add hinges to the power panel plate.
*Slot the wood for the drawer to make assembly easier.

Hints:
*If you paint the field box, use primer. I did multiple coats of primer as the wood was dry and soaked up the paint.

Overall, I think this is a great box and will serve me well.
