Default Cheap Flight Bags?

Any recommendations on cheap flight cases? I don't have the +$300 for a nice one at the moment. I'm willing to accept the fact that the cheap ones will fall apart in a year or so.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen a lot of these. And it will last longer than a year. The only thing it won't do is stickers!

I bought at the flea market. Most of them have a cheap luggage store, and I bought a flight case at one for 50 bucks. It has lasted more than a year, so I guess I have got my moneys worth.....dont laugh at my duct tape though.....

Safety wire and Epoxy can work wonders.
less visible.

Why not just use a back pack and sling it over one shoulder.
(seems to be the rage these days )

go to a crew or bag room in a major hub. you will find enough parts from the old abandoned flight kits to frankenstein you one together, and your recycling and sticking it to the man all at once.

- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

I've used 2 of these in the last 5 years of flying. They are durable and cheap and hold everything I need.
