'Drones' in Baja


Does anyone have experience using radio control models in Baja?

I'm talking about radio controlled fixed wing or multi-rotors ... any issues at the border entering or exiting?

I'd like to use this kind of technology to video the land and sea - scapes of the Sea of Cortez (not for profit).

Your thoughts?

I have taken my quad copter down to Baja several times. It travels in an Anvil hard case but they have never opened it up or asked what was in the case. No issues thus far....

Thanks for the replies! My quad copter is a small DJI Phantom. Given the recent news hype about small "drones" I was a little concerned about flying one in Baja or what BP would think at the border ...
