If you send an air craft in a container, via Papua likely they will want the aircraft rigged to check there is no grass in the ailerons. Don't mention air brakes or undercarriages, they might want to check the control rods. They do check tool boxes, not for tools, but the manuals secreted away in the central cutaway where every one store their supplies. Boogie boards have fallen out of favour.
Better still say it is a non function, full scale model for display. When it does takeoff in a Roal Dowl exclamation. "Well I'll never, it's never done that before!" I feel there will be a considerable nearby sniggering (or is that word prohibited nowadays).
