Hi Jeff,
I fly commercial flights a great deal with my planes. I use two of the
footlockers I buy at my local Walmart for checked baggage. The size is
just under the maximum:

These footlockers have only been searched once in the past two plus
years with no delay that time (Indy to San Diego). I put loads of
AMA/NATS/NFFS sticker on them to show that they contain model planes.
I put all my planes boxes, tools, and supplies in them (and often my
clothes as packing materials. I will probably put the F1D box inside
when I fly to Spokane in July.

get a cheap flight from Milwaukee to Spokane. Could you give me a few
tips on bringing model boxes on the flight and transporting things like
winders, c-clamps, glue, rubber strippers ect. by plane. Once I packed
some eye pieces for a trip to new mexico to do some astronomy and they
kept my suit case for a few days to search. Does this happen if you pack
metal things needed to fly out model airplanes. Also I would only bring
smaller planes like easy-b and mini-stick.

from your shop or model box, whether supplies or tools. How about one of
your catapult gliders? I will donate one of my EZB models. Please
contact me offlist for donations. You can ship the items to me, or just
