General requirements

When wings and body are put on top of each other, they span about 42cm*25cm.

The most sensitive to protect are the servo connectors, the motor, and the camera. The wings should not be able to warp (over time).

DIY 'corriboard case'

Ray Leung made a hiking case out of corrugated plastic sheets (corriboard)[1], Ian Perry made a nice how-to.[2]. The inside can be padded and the case can be secured with glue, zip-ties and velcro

For convenience sake, these are the blueprints from Ian Perry's video: If you want to make this out of one piece of corriboard, you need:

  • The full length seems 40" (~100cm)
  • the max width seems to be 26.5" (~70cm)
  • 14.5" (~37cm) by 10.5" (~27cm)
(Corrugated plastic sheets are also known as corriboard/Coroplast/Prorex/Corflute)

(Archery) bag/backpack with the Disco box-linng

Cut and re-use the contents of the Disco's cardboard box and put them in a long bag that can be opened from the long side. Decathlon sells affordable archery bags in Europe:

Rifle cases

Really sturdy, widely available in the USA. Allows you to put body and wings separate from each other: makes a very long case.
