Cool..

But how did you get it on the plane?
I mean, how did you arrange with the airline people to let you take it on the plane?
Was it hard to negotiate?

Thanks

I have. From KLIA to BSB. Mr Tommy knows well... how worry I am?

your OTA better to hand carry it, need a bag pad for it. and place it in the luggage compartment. Make sure you'll tell the aicraft assitant that youre' carrying a very fragile telescope.. or everyone stares you might think that you are carrying a bazooka.

The rest put in a big box and check it in the cargo. KLIA should provide special packing/wrap for a reasonable price...

Just sharing
