Reserving 72 mhz for only club members etc is never going to happen and is actually a very bad idea for safety sake. These Parkflyers need to be on this frequency while the 27 mhz frequency should only be used on land based RC cars etc.

The problem is that someone on the 27 mhz band with a rtf parkflyer could be in some local park when some kid with a wally world RC car turns it on which will send the aircraft on the similar 27 band into uncontrolled flight which could possibly harm someone which would put a balck eye on the RC Aircraft comunity.

If people are so worried abotu someone turning their TX on just a short distance fromt he field them maybe they should invite the person over to fly at the club. Maybe sweeten the pot so to speak by negating the club dues along with having the club find a way to get the member some type of AMA membership at a cut price. If the member wishes to stay witht he club the next year then he may have to pay higher dues.

But welcome the parkflyers into the fold, entice them with lower rates, this would not only benefit the new comer but would also benefit the club since they can better monitor the channels.

But as long as club dues are as high as they are and as long as these guys are required to pay the over priced AMA prices then it may be something the club with have to live with.
