I have an old field box for my nitro planes but need something similar for the Iris+ (and perhaps some other future electric aircraft). Needs to carry batteries, props, misc cables, battery charger? What do you guys use? What works and what doesn't work?

I was thinking of something a little more generic but that looks really nice. Only issue is that this box will likely outlive the Iris Iris+ then its custom made cutout won't fit the next bird. But maybe a 3D printer could make a replacement?
That's an interesting idea. I actually have an ancient steel Craftsman box very much like the HF one. It has been retired for a long time (just some odd things stored in it) so maybe I will re-purpose it for the interim. The box stores have many nice plastic toolboxes that could work since the only times I would store batteries in them is out in the field.
Still wondering if there are any electric RC specific field boxes that might be worth a look.
I bought this one. It's expensive, but everything fits like a glove, and you could probably drag it behind your car to the flying field, with little damage. Has wheels, and an extendable handle, like most luggage, and 2 little steel reinforced holes for padlocks if needed.
