RE: what 2.4 article

So the AMA has known about issues for 3 years, had a perfectly viable alternative to guide members towards (72), and did nothing?



Okay, were turning blue here - what are the facts?

RE: what 2.4 article

Could, but won't. There are hundreds of millions of consumer products installed on 2.4 in the US. The FCC coming after a few RC radios - no way, no how.

RE: what 2.4 article

There is no way the FCC is going to wholesale displace existing commercial interests on 2.4 for the cell companies. Zero chance - wifi channels sit across the entire band.

Is your thesis that 2.4 will be cleared for cell phones? Does this include cleared of wifi? If so, I can't imagine how it could possible be true. On the other hand, if the FCC has a desire to slow...

RE: Downwind turn Myth

I get the 162 (161.88), but if your going 60 mph at 180 and 20 mph at 90 wouldn't your ground speed be 63.25 per Pythagorean?

I have the plane with an OS .91 FS and (if I recall correctly) a 15x4W prop. It flies great, but will not do 3D due to a lack of aileron authority. With my prop / engine setup it will hover, just...
