Finally, a possible way of traveling with an ideal R/C aircraft model to pack & jet away. That is until some model company releases a plane that can actually fold away...is that possible? Well I think so. This video shows a possibility of just that, together with flying from some of the best beaches in the world. Enjoy.

I wanted to take a plane with me on a flight from Seattle to Dallas/ Fort Worth
I chose a small profile EPP plane with removable wings, but the box I made for it would have been expensive to bring on the plane as our suitcases were packed solid.
I found it cheaper to ship it, I may have used Fedex or UPS I don't remember, Oddly the shipping from Texas to WA was $3.00 cheaper than shipping from WA to Texas

G'day Wildflyer,
I did look at some of my smaller aircraft but by far the Aeroscout was the best for easy dismantle & packing. The main fuse had to go into my carry on sticking out some, but no problems with the airline or security. Hope you saw the end with my hair raising landing on a jetty. Many thanks for viewing.
