Even though he is there, he cannot fly the entire time. Politely mention you would like to take turns since you are on the same frequency. I have heard that most clubs have limits to keeping the frequency pins. The one I used to belong to had a rule where you had to give it up in 15 minutes if there were others on the same frequency/channel.

There are newer radios that use what's called "Spread Spectrum" which means they do not use a frequency like the radio you have. I mean you do not have to declare you're flying on channel XX and see if anyone else is on the same channel. It's more complicated than that so search for the phrase on the internet and you will see what I mean. Since you already have the radio and receiver, I'd go with the "let's take turns" approach.

Good Luck!

You must have posted just before I did...

You are right about the servos just plugging into the receiver. Your current radio sends signals on channel 40 so your receiver my be programmed to receive on channel 40. The servo's don't care what channel you use.
