2.4 Ghz radio

[Wayne Galligan]

I think the biggest advantage point here would be keeping the park flyers off of the general frequency range.   Every Christmas there are more and more of these out there that could shoot down one of our more expensive models down.   
Hope this technology will come full circle and we will be able to utilize this in our larger models.  Think about how it would help at the NATS.  No more matrixing and scheduling or running multiple events in one session would be possible.

  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.
