Change is good sometimes, segregation is bad most of the time. An all 2.4 club would keep 75% of our club members out of the air, we still have a few guys flying with gold stickers on their transmitters.

Imagine a father and his son showing up at your "future of RC" club with his brand new Tower Trainer on channel 15, and he needs someone to teach him how to fly it. "I'm sorry son, but we all own transmitters that cost more than your whole setup." "If you want to fly here you gotta invest $300-$400 more than you already have."

The "most people will be flying 2.4 in 5 years" doesn't wash either. How many 72 systems are going to be for sale (ebay) if your 5 year theory comes true, and how many "new people" will be buying them expecting to use them?

Heli clubs and glider clubs make it obvious as to what membership is based on, frequency based clubs would split the community and create problems the hobby doesn't need.

I still fly 72mhz and I don't plan on going to 2.4 in the near, or even far future. Too much invested in 72 receivers and the cost of replacing a dozen of them with 2.4's is a big turn off. If my club decided to go all 2.4 it would be a very lonely club, and as long as I'm the Pres, it won't. We still require a card in the slot and a clip on the transmitter in order to fly at our fields no matter what system you have, it keeps it safe and it assures people with both types of system don't get complacent when it comes to turning a transmitter on.
