Default RE: Futaba, or just 2.4, problems at Joe Nall?

Hi guys,

The jet crash that took place at Nall was caused by the radio installation under a metalized piece of plexi. The owner was advised against it, but a range check led him to believe it was safe to fly. Unfortunately it was proven to not be the case.

Some valuable lessons come at great expense.
What is the proven form of RC modulation for decades? 72Mhz. Aurora 9 just came out with a 72mhz radio. So tempted. No one is on my channel anymore, nothing to hop around. I'm using a 4 channel FM Futaba conquest with servo reversing (fancy), and OS SF engines.
No crashes, weekend after weekend. Cost me $25 for the radio and receiver. I paid more for the receiver battery!
I didn't go to Nall either, because I'm not an AMA member.
