I have a fourstroke engine, would i be able to carry this in my carry on luggage? Y ou may think its a silly question, however a couple of trips ago , i had beach stone, about the same size and shape in my luggage, it was taken off me as it could have been used as a weapon!

Sammy I've just put both these questions in the same thread, saves having similar answers spread over different threads cofusing us all. Hope that's OK?

Unless someone on here works as Ryanair Customer Services, youd probably be better off asking Ryanair directly, I dont think you`d get any better info than straight from the horses mouth so to speak

Thanks chris, the questions were going to be together, honest!

I did email both ryanair and the airport i would be flying from but neither replied, that was a month ago, im travelling tomorrow.

I just wanted to see if anyone else out there had carried these things through security without any problems...

ta.

Always worth asking Sammyboyy, you never know who might know something.

Of course our interet is raised now so you'll have to let us know what happened when you can.

Have a good trip.

I bought a 2nd hand engine in florida, i showes to the check in girl, who advised me to put it in the hold luggage, she said it could be taken, if held by the cylinder, as a gun, Hmmm,

I had a 10mm spanner taken off me, I asked why and was told "because you are not allowed it"!

It is impossible to work out the rules as they are made up as they see fit.

Thats what i was afraid of, its not ryanair it the security guys at the x ray machine... I will probably have the engine and tx wrapped and posted to me then.. Dont want to be told its a suspicious device or not given a good reason at all and then be expected to put it in the bin to get on the plane.

It is all nonsense. Ryanair - it's their plane, they can be as nonsensical as they like. Offer to pay extra. They charge extra for everything and will thank you for giving them an opportunity they have missed. Might even tell the security guards it's ok.

Security guards? They pay them the national minimum wage. Less if they can get away with it.

Sorry

i brought 5 saito82s back from a florida trip, i also once brought a fuel dispenser with built in pump, it had battery, wires, and coiled fuel tubing hanging our everywhere, no bother, they went through security ok, pack in hold luggage, and stop worrying

I'd stick it in the hold. My SR120 and DX8 recently took a holiday to Croatia. Not a problem on either Easyjet or Monarch. But expect it might have been if I'd tried to take it in hand luggage.

Well the question is actually - can he take these items as cabin baggage?. I assume therefore he is not taking other bags to go in the hold. I have taken RC bits on major airlines without problems but Ryanair and their ilk want to charge for anything or you can't take it. I suggest he posts to himself as he has mentioned

Gentlemen, the Transmitter can be carried as cabin baggage but must be shown like a Laptop Computer at security check. The engine is best placed in hold baggage. Some security checkers show great interest in model engines but others can be pernickety (polite word used instead of expletive).

These are my personal observations. As has been stated, it is the airport security people who decide. The airlines don't seem to care after you have passed through the security check.

I have carried a Tx, Kits, Lipo batteries up to 2200mAh and chargers and power supplies as carry on baggage on both Ryanair and Aer Lingus.

The decision is yours,

Eamonn.

I've brought back a Parkzone BnF complete with on BA from the US as hand luggage, no problems.

However I woundn't be surprised if Ryanair had a surcharge................................

If you can afford to loose the engine bring it, if not post it.

UPDATE, for those who may be interested...

I took my tx in my carry on luggage, and got through no worries, i presented it as electrical, so gets placed in another xray machine tray, as you would do for a laptop.

i also asked about a small, engine and they (2 different security personael) said it shouldnt be a problem.

So now you know.....

And no ryanair charge!!!

News flash.... Made it through secuity with a 80 sized saito 4s engine, no problem at all......

I've flown to the US and back with my Tx in my hold baggage, which also included a DLG glider complete with Rx battery. No problems.
