Woodsy I am afraid that is incorrect and the six RC channels on the 27Mhz band are in fact shared by surface and air use, is totally legal and spelled out in Your AMA membership manual. IT is however not recommended by the AMA but legal. There is a growing ground swell of vintage RC enthusiast that use two frequencys on this band with vintage equippment.

I still Maintain however The fighterbird, Firebird etc. are virtually useless if your goal is to fly RC airplanes. The Aerobird is better with adaquate controls but is still an expensive sidetrack.
