Hi all,first post!
I am off to See Mickey Mouse in september,and I'm may purchase a new RC when over there(HYPER 7 maybe?)
Do you think i would encounter any problems bringing it back to uk with me on Virgin?
Or would i be better off posting?
TIAV

I've never flown with an rc, but a while back there was a topic (maybe on a different website) about this same thing. If i recall correctly, the verdict was that you can. But i'm not sure about the nitro fuel, unless you are planning to buy it back home.

I dont see a problem bringing it back, might have problems with your fuel. But don't take this as an answer as I dont fly alot.

cheers,I would not dream of taking fuel on a plane!

I've bought new nitro rigs onto the plane. Make sure it's new with no fuel run through it and you'll be fine.

Yep exactly everything is good except the fuel

Exactly, if it has EVER had fuel in it they will not allow it on the plane, and they have sensors that will pick it up. If it is a virgin rig you will have no problems, so just don't run it while you are here.

Agree with everyone else. New, un-opened box will not be an issue.
