If you stay on the 50 mhz portion (channels 00-09) of the band you will not have a problem. In some areas of the country you can have a problem on the 53 mhz portion from repeaters. I have been flying on 50 mhz since 1957 and have never been hit by any interference.
Most Hams have their license for more than RC operation. It's just a plus for us to have use of 6 meters for RC also.

I have been on 6 for years and have not had any problems with interference from other transmitters. I can't say the same about the ones on 72 MHz. The R/C frequencies on 6 meters are the ARRL band plan and yes others could use them. However, why would one want to call CQ on the R/C frequencies when he knows no other ham is going to be listening? His objective is to talk to someone!
I think that anyone that questions the 6 meter operation should not use it. Me, trying to convince anyone to fly on the ham bands is self defeating. Therefore, please stay on 72 MHz.
