Yes, I've bought two 3C's already (one for my brother for Christmas, and one
for myself which I haven't built yet). All the Zagi's come in a box that is
roughly 29x12x4". The radio (transmitter, receiver, and servos) comes in a
separate box that is 12x8x4". I'm not sure if they'd be bundled together in a
box or what-not. The boxes are pretty light too.

Yeah. They (Trick R/C) sells a "mars locator" beeper thing for that purpose
too. :-)
