Gaui 425 travel case

sven.herzing · 05-27-2010, 06:16 AM

Hi,
does anybody know a travel case for the Gaui 425, or would it fit into a case for a Trex 500?

thanks

I've seen various threads about people making cases for their 500 (430mm) heli's out of Bow cases (archery).

In general it sounds like a good idea, but a bow case (or those I've seen) are quite likely a bit to big.
I bring my helis with the bus to the flying site, and the bus drivers started check the size limits(100x60x25cm), after I showed up a couple of times with a trex 600 in the bus.
I found this case(http://www.heliguy.com/Extras/Flight...luminium-Case/), which would fit the spec to make the bus company happy, but I'm not sure if 425 would fit, as I've read that it's a bit bigger as the trex 500.

If it doesn't matter if it's a hard case, then you could try those carry bags from readyheli.com. It has the internal measurements for you to check.

Those might be an idea. I'll check them out.
Thanks
