Stick Jammer

"I also believe there's less chance of a beginner accidentally shooting down a plane that's on PCM because most small aircraft stick to FM and an FM transmitter won't affect a PCM receiver"

This is one of RC's best urban legends.

We use to fly at a field that was notorious for interference. The final solution was almost everybody tossed the JR and Futaba PCM's and went to Hitec supreme. End of problems. Yes, I know in theory the PCM has better noise rejection. It may be that Jr and Futaba PCMs are better than their PPM receivers. In the field, the Hitec has shown to be better.

Steve ( shill ) is my brother. He mentioned an airplane we bought that had metal to metal on the throttle. What he didn't say was that we got it cheap because it was a problem plane. The guy couldn't get it to stop going into failsafe. It did it only in the air and not on the ground. We put an FM receiver in it and found the problem quickly.
