Default What's the best TX frequency for microflight?

I'm looking at purchasing my first radio for actual flight. Maybe used, maybe new.

I've done lots of looking at micro receivers on the web, and I'm certain that I found some receivers that are only available in a particular frequency. I think they were FM, but I'm not sure. They were all on the same channel. I was thinking that, as long as I'm just starting out, I might as well start with that channel. I'll probably remain an indoor/park flier, and I don't see any other fliers where I go, so I'm not too worried about interference. Perhaps I should be?

But I can't find them again!

Does anyone know about these?

Does anyone have advice on how well the "alternate" control systems (infrared, AM, shouting at the plane) work indoors? I see that the very lightest receivers prefer IR and AM.

Thanks for reading.
