range
If you are saying that 2.4 does not have the range of 72 I think that has been proven wrong.
The other day A $2000 airplane went in at our field because another flier switched on on the 72 frequency it was on.
I really think it is stupid not to take advantage of the technology we have to prevent such issues
Actually the offending pilot is the "stupid" one.
Our club has over 30 active pilots flying both 2.4 and 72. In fifteen years there have been only 3 72mhz shoot downs all caused by new, impatient members doing a stupid thing. It personally cost them enough to learn the hard way.
2.4 is certainly the future of RC, however it isn't necessary in all locations to make the mad dash, related expense and bragging rights, to change immediately. To those who can afford or need to make a rapid changeover....good for you. Those not needing to, or are doing so at a leisurely pace aren't stupid.
