There's no doubt the 2.4 is a better all around radio. Brownouts and heat problems have been resolved, and with the solid state construction I'll expect the equipment to last longer. There is not reason for a new flyer to go with 72mhz besides that it's cheaper for used equipment. But it's obvious that there are lots of guys who have big hangars so until the old recievers start going bad from use 72mhz will stick around.
didn't the joe nall event experience more crashes (unexplained) this year than ever before? there was a lot of discussion about 2.4 being the problem there.
