I had to buy one, at that price, it's a steal.  Obviously I got it in cammo so people either will either think I'm up to no good, or they just won't see me.  So much better than my last much larger backpack - which was annoying to carry, and had webbing at the back which was much harder to get the quad into.

I was in Asda on Saturday and they had a little pack of velcro things for £2.50 or something, so the quad attaches very securely with these.  Just a shame they don't come in a single colour, I'm living the rainbow effect here.



That's with my lipos, radio, goggles, spare props, tools etc all in the bag - with space for one of those cool chairs when I get one.

What case are you using for goggles and TX in the bag ?

One of these for the radio http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__23302__Turnigy_Transmitter_Bag_Carrying_Case.html (I think it's that one anyway.  Taranis fits in happily with room for the DVR in there and a bunch of cables in the other bit.

At the moment Goggles sit on top of this loose a the moment, but I'll find a more appropriate rigid container for that.  Something along the lines of a tuppaware like for container from a cheap shop should be fine - just to protect from a bigger squash

Just don't put it down in the grass or you'll never see it again.

That must be significantly bigger, or the bag is smaller then.  I did notice that the original link marcin gave that eBay page compared their bag to others pointing out the dimensions of some were slightly smaller.  I have quite a big of space around my tx case and can't see any problems getting everything I need in there.  But you could just buy the smaller tx case I guess ?

I can get my TX in case and Dominator goggles in their pretty big case in one compartment with lots of room to spare.

I bought this one   http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__88498__Turnigy_Transmitter_Case_w_FPV_Goggle_Storage_Black_UK_Warehouse_.html


But its too big to fit in the 30l bag :(

That TX case must be a lot bigger then CK one, as I use same as CurryKitten and still got plenty room above case in that backpack.

Just checked measurements and looks like i got one of the smaller backpacks than original post :(

Doh

That's unfortunate.

I'm only surprised that TBS or Lumenier aren't buying all these up and adding some of their sew-on patches to increase their value by 1000%.

Finally got my one of these kitted out now. I bought a slab of closed cell foam off eBay (cost more that the backpack!) but has allowed me to get all my kit nicely laid out.
