Smile Where to get a flight kit, map case...

I need to buy one, you know the one that holds the approach charts etc. Which Pilot Case should I buy and where? I'm looking for a store, preferrably online. Some of my collegues have been telling me to get one on wheels with the sort of pull-up handle. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Well just a clue, even a tiny one, where you are, might help! The Far East sells these thing the cheapest. UK Pilot magazine has a Transair pilot insert and on the web:

Dunno if they ship to the top of the world, but Sporty's is about the best in NA.

Buy a cheapy canvas backpack/satchel. Army disposal outlets often have them. Damn sight more convenient than those bulky square boxes and easier to carry.

Me Mum Got me one from Viking Direct as a birthday present. It's got a shoulder strap as well as a handle. I've seen the same bag on sale in proper shops at twice the price. Got a free radio as well. Which is still working a treat after five years or so.
