Jim,
I have traveled around with a BFB and never had a problem, except the sheer size of
the box. A $20 usually works but don't try to
look too desparate when you talk to the guys. I just say, "Please take care of this,"
and hand them the money. If you ask them if
they can get the case on, the price just went up.
If you can fit your HL's in a hard shell golf case do it. Another interesting idea
I've heard of is using the appropriate length of
PVC pipe in the large diameter to pack everything in.
Probably the safest method is to ship the goods to one of the TPG guys. I'm sure they
will be glad to help. Just keep you
tranmitters with you so they don't retrim your model for you!!!
