From the first post of the crash, I have felt David got hit......I will leave it up to the conspiratorial theorists as to whether it was intentional....It seems there was someone who was monitoring freq (?), but unless it was done on a commercial spectrum analyzer with memory scope, and interpreted by someone who is very familiar with all the nuances and artifacts inherent in spectral analysis, I consider the issue unresolved.....

Tend to agree, is it usual in the USA for are all TXs to be tested by the CD initially for drift into adjacent channels? Its fairly common in the UK. As 2.4 becomes established people are safe to turn on randomly anywhere, anytime. As you may also shortly swop TX modules from 2,4 to a 35meg or 72 meg, there will be the momentary I'll just check the TX voltage quickly to see if the TX needs charging (its a long days flying). Switch on about five seconds to check (with a 72-35 meg online not 2.4) and David or someone else is in the dirt.
I mention this having lost two models, as the guy thought he was on a given frequency and took that peg, but was really on my frequency, result each time he switched on mine bit the dust!! Only found out as he was flying first one day, I arrived took my peg , switched on and craaamnmppp, his went in big style. The safety officer went to view the debris and inside his model was marked my peg number and sure enough he was transmitting on my number. **** happens, especially after the show crowds have left, people trade or sell gear from the car. In the UK shows many years ago show Traders sold whole sets of TX gear, and buyers sat in their cars and switched on their lovely news sets, result large complex expensive show models bit the dirt. Now crystals are removed and sealed till the buyers gets home. My residual concern is not JR or Futaba gear going AWOL but the novice turning up unannounced to cause a little havock.
