I really like the amount of thought that you guys are putting into this. I think it's much better to be proactive.

I have some thoughts about shipping models. Leo has a valid point about the TSA opening the boxes. They usually leave a business card in my toolbox stating that they have inspected it. I'd rather not have that in my model a box. Also, shipping models means added cost. Right now I check one bag with my tools and and would have to check additional bag with my models. That would significantly raise the cost round-trip.

I'm in favor of going to a smaller lighter model that fits within the posted and carry-on requirements.

Nick
