Default RE: Suitcase Shrike

You have no idea of bad shippers. I just packed up 5 airplanes to ship from Cairo, Egypt to Tucson, AZ (there is a 1/2a Shrike amoung them). I am praying that they make it. I had large wooden crates built for the planes, removed all the access covers and hatches, removed the batteries (the Egyptian customs people will steal almost any battery they find). I would hate to have them pull that 2100hAh Li-Po from my Giles and try to charge it with the wrong charger. I am going to mail all my batteries back. Made a sign written in Arabic stating what they are and that they are extremely fragile. But I also am taking out all the insurance I can get on them
