Rotten40851,
99% of my model airplanes are still on 72MHz. For some of us, it would cost to much money to upgrade to 2.4GHz.
I don't understand why in a couple of your posts you refered to 72MHz as a P.O.S?

Allen, there are numerous pompous b...t..xs in every walk of life. Things are easier when real people ignore them. I have five 2.4 transmitters, 1/2 dozen receivers
hanging on the wall board in plastic covers, and two 2.4 units that I am flying. Personally I like having that long antenna pointing away from me. MY CHOICE. One of the few freedoms that we still have in this country. The vast majority of my airplanes consist of 72 mhz, control Line and rubber power. [8D]
Back in November, 1981 I was instrumental in assisting the AMA Frequency Chairman to finally secure the 72MHZ freq. from the FCC.
Without them RC was on it's death bed as far as RC AIRPLANES were concerned. He soon thereafter resigned from the Frequency Committee and shortly thereafter I resigned from the AMA Executive Council. Kinda like saddeling up and getting the L out of Dodge!
The likes of these holier-than-thou sxxxxxd-up individuals have always been and always will be. Ignore them and let 'em scream.
