I do it all the time - Asia, Australia, the US and a couplpe of times to Europe. Never had a problem if it is in my checked luggage. - they look a little strangely at it in hand luggage though. Make sure that if it is in your hand luggage it doesn't contain any spanners etc.

In the Checked luggage, I've had them look a little strangely at the X-Ray machine when you get to the destination but I've never been questioned further once I told them what it is.

Take an RC mag or two worth you in case you get questioned ; people are more willing to believe that the threatening looking stuff you have packed is what you say it is, if you can point at pics of it in a mag.
