Default Bringing Rc on the plane

I know this has probably been asked 1000 times. But can o bring my sc10 in a backpack on the plane? I would have my transmitter and one 25c 5000 mah battery. I tried calling the local airport and airline and couldn't talk to a real human being which was frustrating. I am flying aligent airlines if anyone has info on them. Thank you so so so much for any input you have

I personally Put my trucks in a small carry on bag and bring them on carry on. You can not bring on tools and other stuff like that. Those have to be in a checked bag because they can be weapons.

The lipo needs to be in a container and the connectors need to be covered, then you carry it on. You have to carry on Lipos. I used a lipo bag, with electrical tape over the connectors. You are only allowed to carry on a finite amount of lithium and I cant remember the amount.

Last time I flew I had 5 3000Mah 3 cells in a lipo bag and my Tx in my backpack. I also had two trucks in a carry on bag. My friend flying with me had the same setup. Not a single question was asked of me or him. Just let the xray people know what you have so they don't freak at all the wires.

I will say going through the first class TSA checkpoint made things a little smoother. they didn't even open up my lipo bag or anything. My friend went through the regular check point and they opened and looked at everything.

Yes, you can bring your car on the plane. Traveled to many states with my items, never had a problem.
