Speaking of range, which radios in general are supposed to have more of it between 2.4 GHz and 72 MgHz? I would think the shorter wavelengths of 2.4 GHz would make it travel a shorter distance but that's just a wild guess.
A lot depends on the TX and RX. Both have park flyer verisions, meaning short range. With the 72mhz, the receiver/antenna plays a bigger role in the range.
One point I would like to point out. 2.4 is really line of site. We have several areas close in around our field that you can drop out of site and with luck not crash. More than one time, I've dipped below the hill and was lucky enough that I was able to pull it back up and in the air. With 2.4, that isn't going to happen. If you drop below a hill or the likes, it's a goner. If you can see it, the radio is off line.
