I've got a scad of stuff on 50 and haven't changed yet--but probably will. I ran across a 7 channel 2.4 cheap and picked it up--but they didn't redesign the radios for no antenna and the radio sort of flops back. I took some lead (Dubro or whatever) weights, two or three strips about 3" long, wrapped them up with electrical tape and tie-wrapped them on the handle--flip them out with the transmitter out of the case and flip them back to fit in the case.<BR>Works swell. <BR>

I will have 2.4 next time I fly there. 72 is almost like having your own frequency because so many have gone to 2.4. Having 72 this year at the Nats was a bit of an embarrasment for me. It's just that my radio works so well that I hate to change anything. 9 years old and I didn't want to upgrade it but I still love it and I like red shirts too. I guess I got a good one.
