27 mhz question...
I bought a small electric plane off of e-bay. Really nice plane but I noticed it operates on the 27 mhz band. A couple of questions. First, Is 27mhz for airplanes legal in the US. Second, It's 27.025 am. What channel would that be. Any info would help...

That freq. is legal for airplanes, BUT, it is also legal for cars and model boats as well. that makes it a little
easier to get shot down.

Don't worry about the channel,just fly, but stay away from the highways where CB radios are most commonly used. If that is a CB channel you could have problems. However CB is not used as much today as it used to be so you may have less chance of a problem.
