Re: Carry on????
yeah right
theyd see it in an xray and just scream bomb im sure and if it has a lipo they wont let you take that either serious fire hazard i guess not to mention what is possible with a lipo going thorough an xray any way better check it on with like 3454674564564 fragile stickers on it or put it in its case and then fill a luggage bag with packing peanuts and im sure it will be ok depending on what airline you fly

Re: Carry on????
I carry my transmitter with receivers and batteries all the time. Flown all over the world with it on carry on. Every now and then they will check it but I would rather them do that than put it down in the luggage.

Re: Carry on????
I carried on my TREX in the metal carrying case. It had chargers, TX, batteries, glue, everything inside of it. I put it in the overhead bin. They didnt even open it up to search the carrying case. No problem....

Re: Carry on????
Just got off the phone with the TSA they said it is considered an electrical device and that it is ok to carry it on just be willing to open it and show them what it is if they ask.

Re: Carry on????
Ok guys im back I had no problems with security going out of either airports they inspected it and whiped it down for explosives when i left DTW. The only problem i did have was on my fourth flight in a CRJ200 the stew told me i was not allowed to carry it on and that i would have to check it at the gate. I carried it on three other times no one said a thing and it was all on US Airways
