Propeller Case/Storage

[bostonvendetta]

What does everyone use to store/transport their propellers? Is there a compact carrying portfolio (like a CD case type) product or does everyone just use the boxes that the props came in when they bought their solo. Thanks in advance.

I keep my solo in a pelican case, and just chuck'em in there loose, in a pick and pull hole. Works great. Why bother with putting them in a case that you have to unzip every time you need your props. blah.

Ok, that makes sense. I was just thinking of trying to protect them and keep them organized and pristine. I've got the backpack and it has a spot for them that fits the boxes that they originally come in. I just know that those boxes won't last long. I think I read somewhere that a Pringles can could work for prop storage, but I don't think that will fit in the prop compartment of the backpack.

I use one of the long narrow 'Really Useful Box' es.... they have then on Amazon.com. I carry 4 spares in a bit of bubble wrap quite securely - it could probably fit more. Lid clips shut and fits nicely in my backpack. It's the 35x10x4.5 cm one (sorry, we're metric over here)

I just put them loose in the place provided in the Solo backpack, and the spares in the zippered pocket, also loose. That is what I have always done, and I am on the original props I got with Solo #1 back in the preorder days. As long as they aren't chipped or cracked, I will still use them.

I use the polystyrene that came in the original solo box. The one that held the 6 props. I cut the square open section off. Which just left the "perfect" cut outs for 6 props. This, if you measure it right, just fits into the open section in the back pack.
You know where the props are meant to be stored.

Call me daft (ok your daft lol) but I thought that is what everyone had done. I thought that was why it (the prop polystyrene from the main solo box) was that size for.

I was going to try to be like Chuck and use my original props as long as possible. Then the Cat decided it was fun to gnaw on the propellers while it was sitting on the Dining Room table. She's also chewed props on the planes I have around the house on display. Bad kitty! WTH?

I still fly them. They're not pristine any longer. I wonder how she would like the taste of Carbon Fiber?

I think I've got an extra Otterbox around here I need to find.

That's what I did so it must be right.

Chuck, just be sure the prop muffler bearings are still good.

I'm with Chuck, I just throw them lose in the 3DR backpack (prop hole). Props are not going to get dinged in there.

I store them loose in my solo back pack, also.

Like speatuk, I too use the polystyrene that came in the original solo box.

Which Pelican case are you using for your Solo setup? Any pics you could share?
I'm in search of a good solution.... thanks!
