I was so looking forward to smoking my uncles' savage in florida and then I found out I can't take my truck on the plane because its a hazardos item![&o] That is the stupidest thing I've ever herd. Has this happened to anyone else?

What made me mad was that I just took it from oregon to NY without any problems. May its just jetblue airlines or something

I would think the only problem they might have is if you tried to take fuel with you. That would be a no-no I think. Also, be sure to pack it in luggage that you will check in not carry on and they should not have a problem. Did you talk to someone at the airline who told you could not do it?

sly2136

man i'm telling ya as long as you don't have fuel in there its perfectly ok to bring it on plane i do it all the time

my mom called and said that I drained all of the gas out and no gas would be taken. They said that it couldn't take it. I'm only in florida for 8 days so I don't want to pay $60.00 for overall shipping. I'm in florida right now and I'm still mad.

just drain it out and pack it in your luggage. i bet they wont have any problems.

i don't know what the problem is here the guys do it all the time i have heard of times at the airport they made some guys remove there tanks and throw them away but that was the worst case sorry to hear your having all this trouble man

Yeah what do I know I only race on the national level. Why dont you ask around before making a statement like that.

Pack the truck up and bring it...I've flown from FL to NYC 2 times w/ mine.....at JFK just 3 months after 9-11 was the first time I carried a nitro RC there.....I packed it in a Snowboard bag w/ all my gear....the ONLY time they questioned my contents was on th return flight and it wasn't even for the nitro car...it was for 10 sets of those Tai chi excersise balls...pack it so it's easy for them to inspect...or get there a lil earlier incase they want it pulled out to inspect.....YOU CAN BRING IT W/ YOU.....

haulin bass all i was saying is not all pro drivers that race send there trucks or cars through carriers most that i know bring them along on the plane i also race at national tracks so i know where your coming from. its free to fly it with you as long as it don't weigh more than 50 pounds then you get hit with over weight fee's
