Default RE: Futaba FM versus AM basic ?

TO smoking crater and any other R/C' ers commenting on my AM v.s. FM radio issue:
I fogot to mention that in addition to the opinion I got that AM radios were obsolete in comparison to current FM models, I was told that AM is more prone to interference from other sources than FM, which is more serious with airplanes than cars, obviously. Although channel numbers are similar, FM is supposed to be more "secure" than AM, was the further comment. My experience with the Futaba Conquest AM is limited to one trainer installation awhile ago in which I had a strange crash situation in which I figured was 98% pilot error as a novice! Hope this clarifies my situation as I don't know totally who to believe at this point! Thanks to all. Jackhy
