[QUOTE="actionjack, post: 8407, member: 978"] I have been through TSA multiple times with My Blade Chroma and now my Spark. I carried my chroma in a carry-on backpack when we flew to Martinique in December 2015 . I was advised to let the TSA know that I was carrying it and I did and I was given extra scrutiny including a complete wipe down for explosives. There was or is a limit on the capacity of lipos that you can bring on the plane and I honestly don't know what the number is but I think it is 10,000 mA H but they did not seem to take that into consideration. This was Norwegian air and the international terminal. I got nearly exactly the same treatment when returning home from Martinique at their airport including not paying any attention to the battery sizes. I've flown my Chroma in Canada multiple times but those were car trips. The main reason I got the Spark was for travel and it was in preparation for a trip which we just took for summer vacation. I told the TSA agent that I had an sUAS in my bag and so they could inspect it And his response was well what's that. I told him I was carrying a drone did I need to take it out and he said no just throw it on the x-ray line. Sparky is a great travel companion. This was Southwest and the Bahamas. I had been coveting a Mavic for its packability for my Powersports adventures and traveling as well but I am certain that I would've been given more scrutiny carrying the Mavic then I got with the spark. the case it's in and all of the parts including the chargers are so small it just looks like camera or laptop accessories.
