You have to blame something. Can't just say "Iscrewed up" or "I forgot to check the receiver battery before the flight". And since we can no longer yell "I got hit" we have to accomidate the new technology by fabricating "brown outs" and solar flares or whatever to explain our crashes. If you can walk around that water tower while talking on your 2.4 GHz cell phone without losing signal you can also likely fly around it.

Ithink a lot of folks also load up on metal geared digital servos without regard to what can happen if one binds in flight and sucks your available voltage/wattage below Rx operating limits. That's not a frequency problem. That's an application problem.
