Lipos and all? War about my radio? It's my baby... Maybe I should but that in my carry on? Thank. For the quick reply

carrying anything electronic like that is just asking to have it confenscated

It is against TSA regulations (and FAA regulations) to put LIPO in checked bags. They must be in a carry-on.

I've taken transmitters on board with me a number of times. On they scanner, they don't resemble anything remotely close to a firearm. Batteries should stay with you, you can pack up the truck and whatever tools you have with your checked luggage.

Also, don't pull out the Tx during the flight. It might concern a few people.

There are several good threads on this topic. Just do a quick search.
