Default Rc gear on a plane!?

Gents,

Im off to paddy piston tomorrow and i have all my stuff packed in the case! Amazing what you can leave behind when you need to.

Im taking my radio (m11x) as hand luggage though as i fear for it being damaged in the case and i have no room LOL

Has anyone had any problems before doing this? i plan on bringing a manual and magazine to help prove its nothing dodgy.

took my rallyx stuff on ryan air to europe few years ago, was expacting the spanish inquesition at the scanner...not a word, had my car and transmitter hand lugage,(as the way I see it is they are the only 2 things you don't want to lose, all else you can beg steal and borrow) all batterys still fitted, no probs, starter box and tools in lugage heading for the hold, again no probs.

They are quite cleaver with the scanners,they do know exactly what is very wrong when they see it! But I'm not sure what the sharp nosed sniffer dog would have made of the slight wiff of nitro fuel if he had had a sniff.

on that note, don't try and take any fuel with you!!

Always a good idea to take an RC mag with you in the case, to help explain what everything is.

+1!!

If it's anything that resembles a gun like your M11 they will ask questions.

Remove the battery from the transmitter and car if your taking that as hand luggage aswell and you shouldnt have a problem
