My friend wanted a case to put his Disco and 9xr in. As you cant really find any big enough to fit the Disco with props on we decided to build some.
Came out pretty good, but it is big. ;D

Spot on Ratty, looks like it was made for a Disco
That's really nice. Where did you get it.
Thanks, I built it.
There's a tutorial HERE (http://fuzzcraft.com/flightcasediy.html) and HERE (http://fuzzcraft.com/photo_flightcase.html) showing how to build your own flight case and THIS (http://www.penn-elcom.com/default.asp?MC=01010101) lot sell the bits required.

without pictures it didn't happen!!
it would be nice to see what you did, because the options in the link above are not much cheaper than getting a custom made case...
cheers

Didn't take any pics as we were going, sorry. Some people have asked for boxes to be built for them tho, so if we do more ill be sure to take pics.
It didn't work out super cheap, about £70-80 for the parts, but to buy a box the same size is a lot more. Strangely enough the most expensive part was the foam.
Its simple to build. A box made of ply, covered in the carbon effect vinyl and then the edging glued on. We screwed on the metal corners and latches, only because I don't have a rivet gun.
