I've been on 2.4 since September. No problems. Flew on 2.4 at the Visalia contest and everything worked perfect (JR9303). I plan on flying the F3J world champs next year on 2.4. I guess that means I'm sold on the technology. I think I'll be posting some VHF stuff for sale soon (real cheap). One

Dale, Thanks for the report on the FASST system. Did you make any special installations or did you just stick the receiver inside the fuselage, same as you would a 72 MHz system. Ed Anderson > Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:43:57 EST > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: Soaring@airage.com, [EMAIL PRO
