=== Fishing Rod Case ===

Hi All,

I have been waiting to add this for a while or at least until I could make sure they would hold up. Here is the issue with all hard shell transport cases fort he L1s I have seen so far. First, according to the airlines, they surpass the checked luggage requirements of most all major airlines (50lbs or less and 62" measured length+width+height).

I first tried airline travel with the box the are shipped in and got charged $100 by Delta (different airlines have different fees). I then looked at gun cases and all of their variations. The airlines apporve gun cases that hold up to 2 rifles. The thing is that I'm not carrying rifles and don't want to try tricking the airlines. It's destined to fail. Those that meet ailine regulation were flimsy.

So, here is my solution. Fishing rod cases. The ones in the photos I got from Bass Pro Shop/ Outdoor World for $36 each. I duct tape them together to form one case. It weights 48lbs and is under the oversized baggage restiction anyway you want to measure it. The have been on 6 trips with my by airline and have help up perfectly. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Produc...&cmCat=SearchResults

As far as the Model 2 powerstand, I have been using the shipping box it came it. Same with the B1.

That's what I've got for you.
