Yes, I would be interested in something along the lines of a Pelican case.
It should be very rugged -- able to handle airline
luggage abuse. It should be watertight, as the Pelican case is. This is
important for DXpeditions, and there are lots of airports
where luggage can sit out in the rain.
It's possible you could cut a deal with Pelican for a case of the
appropriate size, and then create the internal form-fitting
material to hold the radio securely. Cut-outs in the form-fitting material for
cables (power, etc) would be nice if the size of the
case doesn't expand as a result. It's too much to ask to stuff one's
headphones and CW key in the same case -- the case will become
too large and even more ungainly.
That means this will be a little more expensive ... but cheap insurance for
a $3500+ investment.

Any interest in a heavy duty form fitted flight case for transporting your
transceiver? I am looking into this now as a future possibility. If you're
interested, please drop me a note and give me an estimate of suggested
retail price if we were to offer such an option.
