Mesa walkabout flight case ?

[Wonky2]

Was "thinking" of flight casting my walkabout to get round portability issues and the desire to put castors on it.......
Has anyone else flight cased their Wa scout and if so, did it affect the radiator when playing with the combo left sat in the bottom wheel tray of the flight case?

I expect you will be defeating the purpose of the passive radiator when the scout cab is in the flight case .

I expect too, that's why I'm asking if anyone has done this and what the actual effect is?

Is your comment based on opinion or experience as requested?

I had a 15'' Scout radiator and used to tilt it up to aim more at my ears general direction and would notice less resonance, which was a good thing playing on hollow bouncy stages.

Just my opinion of my experience.

Someone sold a flight-cased Walkabout on here a while back. I think it was used (IIRC) placed on top of the lid of the case - the radiator acting against the solid surface.

I can tell you mine is less effective standing on a carpet so that is my experience - my opinion is flightcase foam would be more absorbent still. To add experience to that I noticed the same effect when my 2x15 was left in the tray of its old 'top hat' case (standing on foam). It now lives in a case with no foam underneath the rubber feet and sound much better like that.

Thanks guys...
Steve, that sounds like good advice....
I figured the amount of bottom end that this thing can produce ,, there should be enough left to dial in what the bottom roller tray takes out?

I'll give it some thought.

Any one else with experience of this please pipe up

I did a couple of gigs with mine on deep carpet. It sounded choked and boxy.

The radiator is an essential part of the design. Don't restrict it.
