Or you could just drop the 'over the lines' set up altogether and utilize a modern 2.4 'over the air' set up.

Then you could use whatever lines you needed for your ship with no concern of insulation or the tedious hook up procedure associated with 'over the lines' systems.

Over the air will be far less expensive and far less setup time every outing, and almost unlimted number of functions possible and as I beleve with more reliabilty. Wear and tear as well as flexing of the connectors on each end is the Achilles heal.

As I posted earlier in this thread I had ten active years with the 'Bill Young' over the line system (a three channel set up) It did indeed serve me well and I still actively use it on two airplanes however with the arrival of 2.4 it cannot compete.

I am actively working on my next ship that will utilise 2.4. There is no problems rules or regulation banning this use in the US it would makes since for you to check in your own country as the advantages are great.

In my country while there is no bans for sport flying, there is/was an AMA rule aginst use of Over the Air in certain controlline competiions. This rule is now antiquated and makes no sense for 2.4. I do know there was rule proposals in the rules cycle process last summer to allow 2.4 in these events although I do not know of the outcome.

It make no differance anyway as I will not be going to those contests anyway.

This of course is just my opinion and what I am doing.
