I use a Ski bag . They come in various sizes from 2mtr up . I have one for 2 pairs of skis, can get 2 x1/4 scalies in it. Carry it up hill like a big handbag ducky ! I think they do a shoulder strap for them. Also helps when traveling to keep everything in one place.
I also have a Staufenbiell Glider bag ( large size ) its on their website, or try Topmodell fr site. I can get a 4mtr ASH 26 Multiplex in it and am fairly shure you could get a 3-3mtr f3f type model at a squeeze. Go's on your back like a rucksack.

Hope this helps.

Robbie, just on one side. It certainly does the job with the money saved on posh bags to spend on the airframe. Regards John.

I have seen very similar material ( it looks the same ) in Aldi this week, a 7.5 metre roll ( 600mm wide ) is £8.99, well worth a look I have insulated inside my modelling shed with it.

Dave . A few pics that may help.
My Ski Bag is the 2 ski size, they make them a lot bigger, and there's loads of them on ebay . Might even get myself another one.
In the pic of mine you can see it with a Topmodell Swift 3.7mts and a Purbeck ASW 27 4mts in it. I scalie and a f3f type model would be no problem. I use mine to keep everything together in the car/van when travelling. You can pack it at your leisure and the just chuck it in the car/van when ready. Mine is 76" long.
The other holder can be seen with the Swift in/on it . I also use this when travelling. I can get a Luna 2mt, Blade xl 2.5mtr and an Acacia 3 in it . And is 67" long.

To be fair I only use park and fly sites these days.

Hope this helps.
