What Makes a Touring Grade Flightcase?
We’ve recently began using 35mm angle and 35mm double extrusion on some of our Touring Grade Flightcases and here’s why:
35mm Leg Length
The increased leg length reduces the risk of excessive panel deformation and greatly increases the payload capacity. Ensuring that, even with heavy loads, the touring grade flightcase case remains square, and the lid(s) can be opened and closed smoothly every time.
Rivet Head Protection
A small section of the extrusion is made thinner, leaving a channel to position the rivet. This area reduces the exposed height of the rivet head, reducing the risk of damaged and wear and tear.
2mm Wall Thickness
Greater wall thickness reduces deformation and buckling cause by impact and handling
Unique Design
As with all FCW extrusions, we designed our 35mm angle for endurance, aesthetics, and strength, to withstand the rigours of the road.

New Flightcase Paint Job
In the last few months we have upgraded our flightcase paint booth, which has also allowed us to upgrade our painting process and finish.
We have invested in the latest flightcase painting technology equipment, which is allowing us to create a new and improved finish:
- More paint is applied in a particular way
- Creating a more hard wearing & robust finish
- Email us on sales@flightcasewarehouse.co.uk for more information
Plasa and New Release: 12u Slide to Hide Slam Rack Flightcase
September was a busy month for us at Flightcase Warehouse, as we attended our first trade event since before the pandemic and we released not 1 but 2 new products: 12u Slide to Hide Slam Rack and Touring Grade Road Trunk (which will be officially released later this month).
Plasa
The return of in-person events has meant lots more orders from existing and new customers that are heading back into what they love doing. It was such a pleasure to attend Plasa London and be able to see many of our clients that we haven’t seen for a couple of years now.
It was also wonderful to see many new faces and meet new people in the industry.
We have a busy trade event schedule coming up over the next month with BPM on 16/17 October in Birmingham and Motorsport Days Live at Silverstone on 5/6 November
