Hello everyone Anyone know what the rules for travel by plane carrying a Phantom 3 as hand luggage ?  Removing the batteries and taking only the phantom and control passes smoothly ?thanks

Go to your airline's website and search for batteries to see their requirements.
If they are like every other airline, you will have to make sure the batteries are in your carry-on luggage.

Hello sergiofduarte, it would be better to get in touch with your airline for detailed regulations. Also here is another travel tip for the battery:

The xr machine machine does not cause problems in the equipment?

No it doesn't.
People carry Phantoms on planes every day of the week without trouble.
The airport seciurity people probably won't even give your Phantom a second look because they have seen so many before.

I'm taking mine on Tuesday, flying American Airlines.  Called the airline and they said as long as the batteries are rated under 160 Watt Hours.  I believe they are, and I have posted a separate thread asking anyone this question.  Of course as long as the drone meets the carry on weight and size restrictions.  Ultimately I think it's up to the TSA worker who screens it at the time.  

I have gone thru customs many times. Always carrying my batteries in separate Lipo bags. You can buy them online for about USD 10. They have checked them every time but never complained.

Thanks for all

Do you also carry-on the blades or check them in with luggage?

They are called propellers or props and no-one has had a problem taking them on a plane.

My bad, and thank you...
