hand luggage
heres a concept, maybe for the mach 3: a moth that fits in a suitcase! or better still hand luggage. they have fishing rods that do it.
step 1: cut your mast/hull/wings up into little pieces step 2: place in luggage step 3: reassemble at desired glabal destination.*
*nick flutter takes no responsibility for any complications arrising from above process
In flyrods they call that a "traveler". You need to get some ferrules of the proper diameter of course, which is hard when the mast has a really aggressive taper. But it already has one joint in it, so why not a couple more?
