Default RE: 72 mhz still ok?

Interesting indeed. Ive been out of the loop since 08 really, no punn intinded....
Been reading alot about 2.4. Seems theres alot of "lost communication" crashes . If the antenna in the airplane is positioned wrong, could lead to a crash. that in itsself scares me...
We used to fly around a water tower...there was no vis on the plane for a few seconds , I'm guessing ..
The way I understand it, on 2.4 ,a fella could lose control during that time. Now Im not sayin this to bash the new system, its just what I read about it from actual users. Im guilty of flyin behind a tree line over the years , and supposidly, that too can cause loss of signal connection. Of course, keeping the plane in sight is correct, but I think we all probly have had loss of sight for a moment here, or there. Dont forsee that any time soon LOL.
I find it strange that they dont sell the new systems in 72 anymore ...or at least I dont see any listed.
Manditory change will be coming I suspect..
I just want to be safe, and secure.
