Haven't done it yet but have had large items and fishing rods, as long as packed well and fragile tagged should not be an issue! Can't beet a hard case to protect it!
Yep no problem have taken mine over to the West and back as carry on luggage just the control box and coil only, also booked the lot in as checked in with fragile tags no problem either way.
They have seen way stranger gear then a metal detector.

Coffee? lol, - should be fine Dry- as long as you don't turn it on mate. The x ray should not damage anything , they may stare at it for a while on their screens. Make sure you have no dirt on the the coils.Good luck where ever you going.

Smartass Nugget I've not had my special "coffee" since xmas day.
For those wondering... I may have had a tiny to much coffee at the first Nundle gathering.
By coffee I mean bourbon. Apparently I talk loud and tent walls are thin
I took mine to the USA and had heaps of issues with the shaft looking like a baton when it was broken down. It's an xterra 70. They broke the zippers 3 times to have a look. I then found out you can buy locks that are approved by customs and they have keys that they use to open them. This saved me heaps of hassles and my bag didn't get damaged anymore. Hope this helps
Lithium ion batteries are banned on all airplanes. I have been curious about this for awhile. How do you fly with a GPX battery? Do you declare it before you board?
Qantas;
Lithium ion battery powered equipment containing batteries over 100Wh but not exceeding 160Wh - GPX has 68Wh therefore is ok. Lot of laptops would fall in this category.
