One of the reasons that I love Micros and Whoops is that they are so easy to store.

Some BNFs do come with nice little cases, what is your solution?

I have designed and FreeCad draw and 3D Printed some drone boxes, with lids so that when flying I can just throw the drones in my backpack and easily store them.



For my Rekon35





All fits nicely in a draw.

Those look really nice, are they custom prints? Reminds me of the day when fast food was severed in those foam containers (quarter pounder with cheese ). Maybe print the model name on the outside or use translucent filament on the cover for a see through window?

Or a Sharpie.

I have a couple of Happymodel and BetaFPV Meteor cases. I tend to store them in those. I also have some tool boxes that are full of the Flea builds. I've been wondering whether to put some hooks on the wall so I can display/store them that way.

Oh come on......  Maybe wrap the quads up in butcher paper and use grease pencil.........!!!!

I actually have issues with storing my goggles. Once the antennas are on I hate to take them off and they don't fit back in whatever case they came in. So I wound up looking for ski goggles bags on Amazon.

I suppose it depends.  I throw some of them in my drawers where I keep all my quad related gear in build boxes mostly.  

I use these hard cases for anything up to 2.5".



and these for 75mm whoops, although they are supposed to be for 65mm.



The upside to buying lots of broken quads is I ended up with a bunch of hard storage cases.

But I do also use toolboxes for storage and for taking them to places I fly.



But I do think hanging them will be a better idea. Those cases only work up to about 2.5". Anything bigger isn't going into any cases and things in the 5-7", not a chance.

Walmart pencil box - can hold two 65s with room for some batteries, or a 65 and a 75 whoop with some room for batteries. At a $1.99/pencil box - it's a bargain basement method of storage.

I love those cases that come with some of the BNFs -- Your tool box is nice and tidy.

Those cases look to be stackable as well, and nice to chuck in the backpack.

I made some little shelves that hook onto my support beam, I like having them on display

Storage - 1800ml ice cream containers, keeping like types together.  65mm Analogue, 65mm HDZ, 75 Analog, 75 HDZ, etc, etc.

Travel to and at Sports Hall - same but chosen quad selection with enough batteries for those models for the session.

Those would be so tempting to try and use those as super tricky practice take off and landing platforms,    .

That's exactly what I do haha. it's really tough to land just right, I always end up hanging off one side.

Thrown on the “useful but not being used” pile of junk on the workbench.
