I have took several tips with rig and had nothing as far as paperwork, each time without any problems until recently at Clearwater Fl. coming back from z-hills. They sent rig thru x-ray and then wanted me to open it up so they could see the metal object that looked liked some sort of spring. I began arguing with them how they were the first airport I ran into that wasn't trained properly and if I opened the reserve area of the rig we would have parachute material all over the place and that I don't have a bag to put it in after that. So after arguing for a little while longer and involving three more airport officials, they made me check it to avoid inspections. After that I was panicking that my little child wasn't with me beings I just paid $4,000.00 for rig. To top it all off when I got in my seat I just happened to be sitting in the seat where they loaded luggage and got to watch them throw my rig like a football onto conveyor. O'h yea, at least they did bag it for me.Quote
