RE: R/C freq in Germany?
The listing for Germany includes the 35Mhtz band as the only aircraft only band along with three aircraft/surface shared bands. You can check here:

RE: R/C freq in Germany?
Uhhg! That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'm looking at having to buy a new radio as well as rx and crystrals for all my planes?
Anyone seen any stores online sellign non-US freq gear in English?

What I would suggest is to find out what brands ot Tx's are avalible in Germany along with the appropriate band modules. Then upgrade your Tx to that brand but a module type In the case of Futaba a 7c or 9c Then you would have the 72 module for home and you could purchase a 35 band module over there or possibly order it here at home. Of course you would have to change Rx crystal for the models you flew there. I can,t help but feel Futaba is probably avalible there.

Dear WildBill13:
The PIPE here again...the actual page you'd be looking for is at http://www.ukrcc.org/germany.html ...and thankfully FMA has their FS8 CoPilot eight channel PPM receiver available ON the 35 MHz European band available...they're at http://www.aurorra.co.uk/shop/7/index.htm for the European market.
The FMA FS8 CoPilot receivers have their crystals available for the UK channel numbers 61 (35.010 MHz) through Ch.79 (35.190 MHz) from the linked UK vendor I've mentioned, and even though I don't know WHAT the German channel numbers are for these same frequencies, the German RC frequency page DOES show ALL the UK channels' frequencies, numbered 61 through 79, as being legal THERE for flying models, too!
Those 433-434 MHz RC channels at the German page, interestingly enough, MIGHT just be legal for AMATEUR RADIO SERVICE (Ham license) RC usage in the USA, as shown at http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg...t97/d-301.html ...don't let those "ITU regions" bother you, as ITU Region 1 covers ALL of Europe, and Region 2 is for the Americas. In these two regions, the 433-434 MHz frequencies set aside in Germany MIGHT be just for Ham RCers over THERE, like 50.8 to 51 MHz is for North American Ham licensed RCers (the USA channel numbers "00" through "09" )...and IF something can be worked out here in North America "someday" to set aside, perhaps, SOME of the German 433-434 MHz RC frequencies, those could eventually ALSO be used HERE for the Ham RC community.
Just hoping I've let you know WHERE you might be able to get RECEIVERS for your RC models, when flying them in Germany...and even though I don't QUITE know where you'll be in Germany when you're flying RC, the club at http://geocities.com/rfmc_wey/indexe.html ...very close to MONCHENGLADBACH, where my German Email buddy JENS KLANK lives, who manages the website at http://www.biplanes.de/ ...MIGHT be a good place to enjoy the hobby, IF it's near to you when you're "over there".
Good luck getting what you'll be needing for your RC gear needs in Germany...
Yours Sincerely,
The PIPE!
