Default RE: 2.4ghz lockout/shootdown

my first crash was in a hanger 9 P-51 that had about 900 flights on it and still flying well. I switched to 2.4 to avoid eing shot down, after my Futaba Transmitter (8uap) took a dump on me and fried. The antenna wires were not stretched between the two receivers and had about 1 1/2 inch of play.
The P-51 had a Saito 125 in it.

The Extreme Link was behind the canopy of my Goldberg Obsession and not near any other wires, batteries, etcetera.
The Obsession was powered by Storm 63-74 200kv and a 5s2P 4350 battery pack and an MGM 90 Pro Speed Control.

In either case, vibration wasnt an issue. as the electric was very smooth as is the Saito and will be again after it gets repaired.
