Her’es a great tip if you’re a model airplane designer. Carry a portable lab.

This is one of my favorite things about free-flight, rubber-power models. It’s totally portable (not to mention inexpensive). I keep this in my briefcase so I can work on a project whenever I want. At the pub, at a party or a BBQ or where ever I am.

Here’s a picture of  my portable “Squirrel Lab“.

It’s three poly bags stuffed with the follow:

• 1/8th balsa sticks (rejects from Squirrel kits)
• 1/16th strips (rejects from Squirrel kits)
• toothpicks
• 1/8th rubber motors
• scissors
• box cutter
• office elastics
• tissue
• glue (just like ketchup containers)
