How to Build an RC Transport Crate
- 1). Place a 4-by-8-foot sheet (stock size) sheet of corrugated plastic on top of a table or workbench.
- 2). Measure and mark one piece that is 6 inches wide by 46 inches long. Cut it out. Cut two pieces that are 12 inches wide by 46 inches long. Cut two pieces that are 6 inches wide by 12 inches long. Discard the scrap corrugated plastic.
- 3). Set the 6-inch-by-46-inch bottom piece of plastic on the table. Tape the two 12-inch-by-46-inch pieces upright to the bottom piece to form the side walls. Place the tape only on the outside of the box.
- 4). Tape the two 6-inch-by-12-inch pieces to the ends of the box. Make sure to place the tape on the outside of the box.
- 5). Warm up your hot-glue gun. Glue the seams inside the box where the side panels meet the bottom piece. Apply glue to the seams where the bottom piece meets the end pieces. Squirt a generous line of glue down the entire length of each individual seam to ensure they stay together.
- 6). Glue the seams where the side panels meet the 6-inch-by-12-inch end pieces. Make sure to apply glue down the entire seam.
- 7). Cut two pieces of packing foam (approximately 6 inches by 3 inches). Glue each piece of foam to the bottom of the crate, about two inches from each end. This will provide support for your model's fuselage.
- 8). Allow the glue to dry overnight before using the crate.
