Glad you guys enjoyed...it was a lot of fun to put together!
As far as the tax was concerned...I just carried my Mavic (selfishly posting here to promote my Channel...sorry guys!) on the airplane and walked right in. I passed through security in LaGuardia and never had a problem. And when you touch down in MX, if you carry on they don't check your luggage. So if there is a tax, I didn't pay it. But as far as I know, you should be okay. The tax thing I have heard is mainly in Europe and also the Philippines
