Right guys,

Its the final leg of the TPPL, which is held in istanbul Turkey.

Cheapest flights i can find are around £150, but peeps are more than welcome to have a go getting them cheaper.

Im still waiting to hear back from some paint sponsors for the event and also to see if we can get a lil help with the flight costs.

Like post one says, all you have to pay for is paint and the flights

Put in in a bag and check it in I believe.
Germany is the only euro country with stamp requirement as far as I know.
Bottle must be dettached from the reg to fly on any plane. Everything else should be cool.

Good questions fish, all i know is that the reg has to be seperated.

Im assuming if you broke your marker down into as many parts as you cold then no airline would have a prob, but i'll ask a few peeps

regs are loctited on pretty well aren't they? just so i'm prepared for the wressle after the 10man

and thanks guys thought that was the most pertinant question since not many people travel with their kit really

A vice with rubber lining and spanner is your friend

If you can't get the reg off then just put an on/off on the end with no macro on it, this shows the valve is open, they scan em anyway so can see the bottle is empty.

PS. Definately up for this mikey
