Safety instructions and warnings for
Carl Goldberg Flite Boxes
Important: For your own safety and that of others,
observe the following instructions and warnings:
1. Never use the flite box for engine testing or while an engine is running. The cradles are designed only for holding the model when building, repairing or storing.
2. Remember that model fuel is highly inflammable and explosive!! Therefore, treat it with utmost care. Do not allow anything to come near the can that could set off a spark; do not smoke or bring any flame near the fuel can. use care when carrying your Tote so as not to drop the unit with the can on or in it or bang the can. If you store any battery (e.g. glow plug starter battery) or electrical device in your Tote, make certain that no short circuit can occur; wrap the plug end in insulation and keep terminals from shorting out.
3. Make certain any fuel can mounted on your Tote does not leak; inspect frequently for this. Make certain it is sealed tight and that it does not come in contact with any battery, electrical device, tool, or anything that might cause a spark or excessive heat.
4. If you mount any kind of power panel into your Tote, be certain to run its leads so as to avoid shorting out, causing sparking or excessive heat; the same precautions must be used when mount­ing any electric fuel pump in your Tote.
5. At all times and in all cases--
Remember that you are carrying highly flammable fuel close to batteries, tools and other devices
that may cause sparks, short circuits or cause heat high enough to ignite the fuel.
Use good common sense. Keep all pump wiring or panel wiring you choose to install in good con-
dition and safely wired without crowding.
DON’T keep matches, lighters or anything in your Tote that might cause a spark or flame.
6. Keep your Tote out of the way of any running engine or its exhaust.
7. Store your Tote in a safe place-keeping children and others away from your Tote at all times. Do
not carry or store in the trunk of a car during hot weather.
8. From time to time inspect all fastener used to hold components on your finished Tote to be cer­tain they are secure.
The Failure to obey these safety instructions and warnings may result in fire, explosion
or other casualty causing serious personal harm or property damage to yourself or others!

1. Begin construction by locating the bottom,
rear panel and left upright. Sand any burrs left from the cutting process on the edges of the dado slots. Lightly sand the bottom edge of the upright where it fits into the dado slot. Trial fit the upright into the dado slots on the floor and in the back panel. Align the back panel on the floor making sure the dado slots line up. Now insert the upright in the floor and the back panel dado slots. Make sure the 1/8” dado slots for the drawers line up on the back panel and the upright. When satisfied with the fit you can use CA glue or disassemble and use white glue.

hole for fuel pump wire
The rear lower corner of both uprights has a hole to pass the wire from your power panel to the fuel pump. There is enough room behind the drawers to run the wire.

4.Install the lower drawer shelf(1/8”x10-3/4”x12-
5/8”) by sliding into the dado slots in the right upright and the drawer divider. Make sure it goes into the slots on the back panel.
5.Install the other two drawer shelves in the same
manner. (1/8”x10-3/4”x12-5/8”)
6.Install the small drawer shelf (1/8”x10-3/4”x3-
7/8”) between the left upright and the drawer divider in the same manner.
8. Install the top shelf into the dado slots on each
upright. (1/8”x10-1/2”x16-5/8”)
9. Install the front panel. Fit into dado slots along
the bottom and each upright.
10. Install the battery panel divider in the dado
slot in the floor. Make sure it is vertical so the power panel will fit.
Make sure the distance is the same at both ends. (7-1/8”)

11. Tape the battery box cover in place flush with
the front and back panel and the floor. Tape the power panel in place flush with the front panel and sitting on top of the battery cover. Using a 5/64” drill, drill through the holes in the power panel and battery cover to make pilot holes for the #4 screws. Install the 10 #4 x 3/8” sheet metal screws to hold the panels in place.
12. Install the 1” wooden handle in the holes on
each upright. Due to the tolerance of wooden dowels, the holes will probably be very tight and may require sanding to get a good fit.
13. The top shelf divider can be installed in the
middle or at any spacing you desire. It is 1/8”x3.156”x10.43”.
14. This finishes the assembly of the box. You
will now need to build the six drawers. Each drawer is bagged separately to help you identify the parts. It is suggested you open one bag at a time and com­plete that drawer.
15. After the drawers are built you can install the
drawer pulls using the #10x5/8” screw. It is a good idea to glue the know on also.

16. After the drawers are installed you will need
to install the drawer divider strip between the two side drawers and the four main drawers. It is a piece of 5mm x 1/4””x9-7/8”” and glues to the face of the drawer divider.

17. Two strip of 9mmx1”x25” are provided for
runners on the bottom of the box to space it off the ground. Glue to bottom of box approximately 1” in from front and back and centered length wise.
18. The cradles are make by laminating two
1/8”pieces of each cradle part together.
19. After the parts are laminated, install around
the handle and insert the #10x1-1/4” bolt with a #10 washer on each side and secure with the #10 wing nut. By loosening the wing nut the cradle can be adjusted in width.
20. Locate the cradle foam and cut into two equal
length pieces. Using a sharp knife or scissors. split the foam on one side down the entire length. The foam can now be installed on the cradle openings to protect your model.

21. Locate the nylon strap and drill a 1/8” hole in
one end 1/2” from the end. Set your fuel jug or can in place and using the two #4x3/8” screws and #4 washes, attach the nylon strap to the front and rear panel across the middle of the fuel jug to hold it in place.

Finishing and painting
Epoxy paints are strongly recommended since they are fuel proof. However, they do have to be carefully mixed before using. Poly-urethane paints can be used right out of the can and are also fuel resistant. But, depending on humidity, polyurethane paints may be slow to dry.
For a smooth, good-looking final appearance, we recommend spending some time preparing the wood surfaces for painting. If most of your effort goes into the prep work, paint will flow and cover better, producing a high quality finish you’ll be proud of. Painting alone will not hide defects. To smooth out grainy wood, joints, etc., use modeling grade wood filler, or equivalent. Even household “vinyl” spackle works well as a filler, although when dry it dents easily. Use whatever material you feel comfortable with, just be sure it sands down easily. Although more expensive, polyester resin is very easy to use since it usually only takes one coat to fill the surface. It dries to a hard surface in about an hour regardless of humidity. And it sands well.
1. So that all surfaces are unobstructed for sanding and painting, remove all screws. Set these aside for final assembly after painting. Similarly, the cradles should be dissembled so each part can be carefully sanded and individually painted.
2. Apply paste fillers using a knife blade or plastic scraper to squeegee filler into wood pores, espe­cially in end grain of the base and upright panels. Liquid fillers should be brushed on. Repeat appli­cations may be required. Allow filler to dry thoroughly.
3. Wrap 100 grit sandpaper on a block and flat sand all exterior surfaces of the Tote. If desired, take a little more time to smooth out interior areas of drawers and open top compartments. Interior of bat­tery compartment does not require any sanding. Repeat sanding with 220 grit until surface begins to smooth out. Repeat steps 2&3.
4. Remove all sanding dust from surfaces. Apply a good coat of primer and let dry. Additional appli­cations of primer may be needed at porous areas (corners, end grain). Sand primed surfaces with 220 grit paper. If required, apply additional prime coats, sanding between coats until the surface begins to smooth out. For final sanding, switch to 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper.
5. Using a tack rag, thoroughly wipe down the Tote and remove all excess dust. Following the paint instructions, apply a very thin coat and allow to dry. Apply additional coats lightly, gradually building up the color intensity. Heavy applications of paint will run.
6. The decal has pressure sensitive adhesive and only requires removing the backing and sticking in place. It is best to remove about 1” of the backing and stick the end down, and then peel the backing off as you rub the decal down from one end to the other. This will avoid getting wrinkles in the middle that you cannot remove.
Clear finishing
Follow steps 1,2,&3 above except use plastic wood to fill nicks and dents. Automotive clear coat works very well. Follow instruction on the label to apply.
