I've mountain biked there. Place is pretty awesome and recently refurbished. Good food and drink too, sometimes live music in the summer.

Well, tried to save myself some time and ordered some custom cut boards from makerstock.com, which i have used a bunch of times in the past to order regular stock of ply and plexi. But whoever was at the circular saw that day must have been drunk.
First picture is one end of the boards, second picture is the other end of the boards.
One board is wider and the other board is thinner. Yikes.
These are the ends and sides of my DLG box. The end little pieces are perfect matches but the top and sides long pieces are not even parallel with themselves let alone match my specs. Talking with @Hawaii Sloper we are guessing that they are using a tracksaw and not a standard table saw.
They agreed to recut so will see what happend.

Nate - never tried but I did hear that some people use padded rifle cases for their models?

I have a sportube for international but it needs a lot of padding.
Just worried about the weight of your box.
Under is one I made to take 2 x control line planes to the UK. Light and worked well.
Cheers,
Doc.

Understandable. But this is for a 1 meter 128g DLG. Its a pretty small box.

I can't remember his name but there was an older guy at the Camp and Fly who had a Sprinter and some really nice planes. I think that he drives to Watsonville, Cape Blanco, and probably this place and others, spending a bit of his retirement like that. Pretty sweet way to spend some free time. I really want to check that spot out down south. I didn't even check what town that was near. I'll do a little research.

It's more like slermal Alpine lift. My buddy had his huge heavy slope racer there and it was so high we could barely see it. MASSIVE dives and speed runs from space lol
Look at this happy man driving his new car
