RC India

I am going out of town for a couple of weeks and want to take my EasyStar with me. The trip will be a flight from Pune to Nagpur, stay there for a week then to Jabalpur by bus. I have to leave this Friday, my concerns are:
1. How to pack the plane? Because it won’t fit in the box it came in with the tail attached.
2. Will there be a problem at the airport.

For the flight, as long as you are not carrying the batteries (even the transmitter batteries) with you, it should not be a problem carrying your plane as carry on item in the cabin. You could keep it in as dismantled as possible position for ease of carrying. Its not a banned item in India. Neither it can classify as a weapon considering it is foam. Except the guys feel the pushrods are a weapon  :giggle:

Regarding bus there after, not sure cos we dont know ehat kind of bus it is and the space....

ok, but how should i pack it with the tail attached, where would i get a box of that size.
Bus will be regular 2x2 volvo.

Why do you need to pack it?  :headscratch: Just carry it as is... Yes, it will attract attention but you cant help it. May be you could as well be responsible for the creating another aeromodeller...  ;)

Bus... a dicy story considering you never know who would want to stomp his hand bag on your easy stars tail while lying up there in the stowed baggage rack...

Judicious use of thermocol shaped to enclose the tail is the first option that comes to mind !  You can use irregular pieces of thermocol for this, by just stacking them into thicker sheets using glue, and then using a sharp knife to make the hollow profile you want (two pieces).

Get a custom made box made.. wont cost you much..

@anwar
The thermocol option sounds good, but will require lots of effort.
@atul_pg
Where can i get custom made box? of what material?  

try google.com for packaging manufacturers in pune. Material would be normal cardboard box.

cheers

I am getting all whole sale dealers of packaging materials.

respected members of the forum i would like to know,can i carry lipos and all my electronic stuff with me in the flight or not, as i have recently shifted to ahmedabad .

Just did that yesterday ;)  Had wrapped each lipo separately in zip loc bags, and ensured that they are in checked-in luggage. 

The airline check-in counter asked if I had batteries. When I responded affirmatively, they asked me to get only those bags passed through scanner machines.  So I walked up to the scanner, but the CISF people there asked if the batteries were hooked up to anything, I said "no, they are individually wrapped", and they said it is fine, no need to scan.  That was it !

I have travel with lion batteries before without a question asked. This is the firs time i'll be travelling with lipo.
On the topic of travel box, where can i get a box like this. This could solve all my problems.

I travel with lipo's regularly. As mentioned by Anwar, pack them seperatly & in check in baggage & you should not have any problem.
