Officially there's no limit while inside the U.S. Realistically, if you are stopped by the police while carrying large amounts of cash (anything over $200) you can expect to have it confiscated and you will have to prove that it was obtained legally.
It's ironic that you are presumed innocent of a crime until proven guilty but when it comes to personal property it's up to you to prove that you own it legally.

You will be limited by the amount of weight you can carry. The same would apply when flying. There are planes, such as a Lockheed C5, with a cargo capacity of 270,000 lbs. A $100 bill weighs about 1 gram, so let's say there are 500/lb - call it $50,000. Multiplying by the 270,000 capacity, that would allow you to carry $13.5 billion in cash.
If you fly outside the country, you must declare amounts of cash in excess of $10,000.

How strong are you?
How big is the plane that you are putting the money on, how many square feet is the interior?
Carry as much as you are willing to be robbed of, but make sure that you have enough to pay for food and transportation to a place where you can get more.

if in the u.s., as much as you want. if traveling outside of u.s. $10,000 before you have to declare it. I personally wouldn't carry very much for safety reasons.

As much or as little as you want. I wouldn't risk taking too much though in case you get mugged!
