Default RE: Park flyer frequencies

This has been discussed.

Problem... to do it would require changing the FCC frequency allocations. You can't enforce a re-divide of the allocation any other way.
(You want to VOLUNTEER to change allocations when the pager guys want the ones we have? [>:]OOOoooo the RC guys want just 5 frequencies for Park Flyers and 10 for other aircraft... the rest we can grab.[>:])

Who's radios are you going to make obsolete? The Park Flyers or the larger models? Who's going to PAY when that happens? The guy who owns the now unusable radio, so SOMEONE is going to SCREAM.

What is the answer? Short term there is none. Long term there is none that is guaranteed.

We can only do the best we can to try to educate people of the danger they could create by not reading that little notice that comes with each RC system. ("Do not operate within 3 miles of an established RC flying site...." )

Sorry... Your requested action just won't be happening.
