Flight cases

[Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I'm shopping after some good packaging for my instruments. I found a  
"Peli" case with the correct measures, but it seems way too heavy  
with its 12,7 kg!!! Even before you start packing it you are already  
more than halfway to that merciless over weight fee limit. I guess  
Peli is not to consider "FLIGHT case", or maybe that brand is  
designed for well paid NASA engineers and alike ;-)   Anyway, I need  
to get something light and hard that can take a FCB1010 and some more  
stuff. Any advice? (Zoe Keating once suggested a violin case and rip  
out the stuffing, which is an option that I'm about to check out as  
well).

Or am I totally wrong here? Does a good case have to weight in on  
12.7 kg?
