G'day everyone. I'm flying in for FF14 and renting an RV for the event. I'm now finding this somewhat challenging as to what to bring and how. So I thought it would be a good idea to start a discussion and share what works and what does not work as to going to one of these events (my first).
I was thinking about shipping some of my planes a week or two before the event. I asked the fine folks at NeffBro's RV Rentals if I could and they would hold the package/s for me. Have you guys shipped planes before? If so, do you recommend any carriers? I fear UPS would have a field day with my planes. Also - lipos - are they okay to bring on a plane or should I ship them also (all of them would be balanced and in storage voltage). I'm leaning towards shipping but wanted to ask. Here's my laundry list of items that I think I may need but wanted to get your opinions.
Weller Soldering station (thinking either I will need it at some point or someone would)
2.5 Meter Sailplane
2 Meter HLD
Tri-copter
Flying wing
Radio gear
Spare receivers, etc.
4 port charger
Power Supply
Batteries
Ample amount of Tape and foam safe CA
Toolkit (hex, torx, phillips, flatheads, etc)
If you have any suggestions of some must haves or even 'niceties', please advise and many thanks!
