2.4 Ghz radio

[DaveL322 at comcast.net]

Spektrum is a radio brand that is designed, produced, distributed by 
Horizon Hobbies. The TX is based on a 6 channel JR unit. This concept 
has been in development/testing by Horizon (and others) for about 7 
years as I understand it. 

The restrictions are inherent with the recommended usage - ie, park 
fliers and small models - those that would not go beyond the tested 
range of the radio. You would not want to use this radio in a 2M 
pattern model or 40% plane which is visible and controllable at a far 
greater range than smaller models. 

Regards,

Dave Lockhart, Team JR
