Well, I took my baidarkas as regular baggage. The transatlantic
flightallows two bags of 30kg each.
Had to say this, as one of the few folding baidarka owners :))
The flights in europe are a bit more difficult. I solved the problem by
shipping the boat in _one_ bag of 45kg, marked, declared and paid
for as a... SURFBOARD. No joke =8() Anyone here who has a 45kg
surfboard?

N.B.:
Back to the thread. How about adding sturdy wings to the tube
and just flying it to its destination? The eskimo paddle might
serve as a good propeller, and the car's motor should suffice :)
