We all want a nice Align Aluminum carry case for our sweet, ever so precious heli for taking it to an event, or showing it off at a family get-together. However they can be expensive for an "Align". The name costs too much for me! So after much searching and digging, I have found the measurements and comparable aluminum cases that are just as nice (in my opinion) for a fraction of the cost.
One option is the
PROCASE 4 row euro CD case. I found the size is about the same as the Align Trex 450 case. You can choose your color as well, which is what the Align guys don't have.
Also, check out
this CD 4 row case as well on eBay. Nice, but only one color.
Here is an older used case with about the same size dimensions.
Basically, I'd rather be buying nicer heli parts than a "brand -A" carry box. You can sticker it up, color/paint it. I will get getting one of these and since I have access to foam, I can make my own padding inside. Since I'm
building a 300 size heli, I could even go a bit smaller.
T-Rex 450 case:
Diameter:698x203x284(mm)
Diameter:24x8x11.5(in)
