Vital tools to have out in the field

Here is a list of some important tools/ parts to have with you while out flying a sortie. Your own little tool kit.

1. Spare prop - Should the unthinkable happen its handy to have at least one spare.
2. Second/ Third battery - For those of us who just can't get enough... or should a battery fail.
3. Multi-tip screw driver - Model planes usually have only one size screw. Handy just to tighten things up before launch.
4. Needle nose pliers - For those hard to reach places.
5. Glue (pre-tested) - Should cracks appear after a rough landing.
6. Hinge tape - Same reason as 5 above. Hinge tape is stronger than normal sticky tape and can be used in addition to the glue for extra reinforcment.

As you gain experience you will see that you will add to your kit. This is what I have after only 7 months.

Happy flying!!!
