Hi Marc
I'm a huge fan of the pseudo-SASS design. The DIY boundary array blog/list has
some very interesting research. I have not found that any of the wooden designs
travel that lightly. I have typically brought a screwdriver and dis/reassembled
the head on location.
For your FR2LE I highly recommend getting a battery pack with as high an
amp-hour rating as you can muster. You won't be disappointed. Well worth it for
traveling. The FR2LE was designed to take RC style batteries which are widely
available. it takes a little research to find what will fit and compare
prices, but when you are in the Asian forests you will be happy you are not
changing batteries.
