I guess the 2 times I have walked out to help pick up planes that were shot down by park fliers was all my imagination. Thank goodness we have people here to straighten us out.

And what Hoss was explaining (seemed clear to me) was that at VHF frequencies, the signal is more line of site, meaning that as your plane gets higher, it can "see" a lot farther than your scanner, meaning you can take off with a clear scanner reading and get shot down by a nearby park flyer when you get 100 feet up.

And of course, someone flying a 100 dollar foamie (that Horizon themselves markets as a throw away) might have a different view of frequency control as someone who scratch built a Cub for 6 months, but how that makes the Cub flyer an elitist is beyond me, makes no sense whatsever.


And BTW, where is the spread spectrum radio that is coming out?
