Lisa Sene Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'm curious to hear how people case their arms. I'm looking for a hard case for my G-50X arm, and so far am striking out finding one that is the proper size - most get close with two dimensions, but the third makes the case too large. Ideally I would like the case to house the arm only, and I'm looking for a hard case for travel and better protection. Happy flying!

Moderators Louis Puli SOC Posted December 27, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hi Lisa This is my case for my Pro arm buy you should be able to do the same with yours .It's a Pelican 1600 .The height of the case was the most important point as it douse not lay flat . For me I preferred it to a much flatter gun like case . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members David M. Aronson Posted December 27, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Any reason for keeping the arm separate from the vest? The padded soft case it comes with the arm inside the vest inside a 1620 works quite well for my g50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Sene Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks Louis! I'll measure it out and see if that will fit my arm. I was originally going for a Storm case because I like the button-style openers, but they don't seem to have one with the right dimensions for the arm - the closest one ends up being so wide it's almost the size of my sled case, and until I get a larger car that's not an option with my existing cases and plans to buy a cart soon. David, yes I have multiple reasons for keeping it separate. First, I have an Exovest, and since I like to keep it set up for me to wear right out of the case (set for a small frame overall on the vest), the arm in the soft bag mashes the pads too much for my liking if I store the arm inside the vest. Since it's memory foam, I wasn't fond of storing or traveling with it that way. The other reason is I live in a third floor walk-up with a narrow staircase, so I try to keep my cases relatively light for that reason - don't need to be tired before I've even finished loading the car, not to mention coming home after a long day and hauling them back upstairs (while trying not to wake up my two year old neighbor on the other side of the wall)!

Premium Members Richard W. Davis Posted December 28, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Lisa, You can also do a case with the arm folded in half and foam cut to support that. Has a smaller footprint case wise... Its what i have used for 10 years on my PRO arm. John Hankammer is who I first saw do this. Fits nicely on bottom of cart. Sorry my cases are on the camera truck through the holidays or I would do a picture. Rich Davis LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Sene Posted December 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi Rich, Thanks for the reply! I had thought of folding the arm and storing in that position; good to know you are using that method with success. Do you have a case that fits those dimensions without a lot of excess room? I'm not sure if I searched for a case with the dimensions of the arm while folded - will do so tonight. Happy flying! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
