I have started the process of modifying a plastic air drop case into my new heli case.

Here is the case with the lower foam removed. I want to start the transformation of the foam insert while it is out of the case.
I have cut out the cavity that will be the area for the heli. I will center the bird and build up the ends to make a perfect fit.

I think we have an almost perfect fit. Next is to fill the dead space.

I cut the filler pieces from the dividers that I cut out. I have the filler pieces hot glued in and ready to go. On the left you will see a slot cut in the foam, thats for the tail fin.
Here is the setup for the heli. Once the lid closes that thing wont move anywhere.

Here is the final layout. I still don't know what to use for the storage trays at this point, Right now I am thinking of build some stuff out of foam board as a mock up / prototype. As for the small compartment I am not sure yet what to put in there. Might just use that spot for my greases, thread locker, tapes and my miscellaneous cables and programmers.
As for the lid I already know what I want to do for that and will be for a later time.
