RE: Radio Controler
jsessums,
You need to make sure that your radio is on surface frequency and not 72mhz which is for aircraft only. It also needs to be 1991 narrow band certified by the FCC. Older radios would have a gold or silver sticker on the back of the transmitter. Using a radio for the wrong purpose or using a radio that is not certifed makes you liable for a $10,000 fine and any insurance will not cover you for a resulting accident. New radios are real cheap now much easier to use.
