The BVM isnstructions are good, however I just dried the model, and put a plug in the vent, then I left the model open a day or two and I couldn´t smell any kero on it and it was good to go.

However this days airlines seems to be more concerned about the use of LiPo batts in models, and you better don´t transport any of them regardless the chemistry type, inside the plane.

You should declare in a especific document (you must consult with your airline before traveling) that your plane is dry and doesn´t have batts on it and glue a copy of this document in the box. Also be ready to open it for inspection if required by the authorities. I transport the receiver batteries separately (no LiPos, just NiMh´s) in a cushioned, fire-containing box in my luggage.


p.s. use this same procedure if you are going to the club using your wife´s car!
