Carrelh,

Just FYI, the Bind n Fly feature is specific to any 2.4ghz DSM radio equipment. This type of radio system is available through JR, Spektrum (who is made by JR), Futaba, Hitech and many others. This operates on basically a cell phone frequency as opposed to the 72mhz which operates around a walkie talkie frequency....if Im not mistaken. The 72mhz equipment is open to interference, where as the 2.4ghz equipment is not. This is why 72mhz equipment has to be impounded at a club, and 2.4ghz equipment does not.

Choosing a Bind n Fly aircraft is a great option as long as you already own 2.4ghz DSM equipment. It will literally "lock on" to what ever aircraft you bind it to. Your reciever will be slaved to that transmitter and will not recieve any signal from another transmitter. Its a great improvement in my opinion. As a matter of fact, last I heard the Joe Nall Fly In will not allow 72mhz radios at their 2010 event...which says alot...
