Default I'm on channel #80

Okay... this kind of goes along with my "I soloed yesterday" kick in the other post. I ordered my avistar, engine, and radio from tower hobbies. The radio is a Futaba 4 channel. The problem came when the guys saw what channel I was on, they couldn't believe I was on channel 80. Then I came to find out I was on a 75mHz instead of 72. Now... when I ordered the radio there was a "pulldown menu" that allowed you to pick your freq. so is it my bust for not realizing that air frequencies only go up to 60 or is it their bust for selling me a surface frequency on a radio that is obviouslly for airplanes... hell it even has an airplane on the front of the transmitter LOL. I flew anyway and had no problems at all.. I was just wondering what the pros (you guys) thought about the situation.... Thanks again..
