You are aware that the case isn't heavy enough to balance the rx chassis,
I hope. You'll want to keep it from tipping forward somehow, perhaps by
putting some REALLY HEAVY weights on the case, or strapping or tying it
down, or something of the sort. Apologies if you already know these things;
I found them out the hard way.

You may also know that the plunger switch that opens power when the rig  is
pulled out of the case can be pulled a bit farther out to apply power
again, and that the slides include very nice pivots (on mine, anyway) to
turn the rig face-up or face-down. If not, you do now. If you did, then
stop reading a paragraph back. ;=)
