contest? What frequency pin do you use?
Some fool is bound to try it, even though the range is less than 72
MHz. However the range seems to
Steve,
Do you read AMA's Model Aviation? There was an article showing Steve
Kaluf flying a big aero ship with the radio and talks about the fact that no
one needs pins with it and that it would not cause problems at the normal
flying field. Not sure which issue, but it was in the last two

Before we witness more misinformation (like on E-Zone) about 2.4GHz, the ISM
band, and the protocol employed by the DX6, I suggested folks tune into
RCGroups. The designers themselves have written in-depth...

Good advice. Of course my post was only dealing with the AMA position on
this new technology. I thought that a post directly from the AMA
Technical Director was an appropriate manner in which to do that.

Anyone have any field reports on the new Spektrum DX6. Possible for the slope?
Looks promising. Great price. Excellent choice for Park flyers.

I've seen them flown in a golf dome when there were 10 - 15 other aircraft
in the air, some on 72 mhz and some on 2.4 ghz and I've flown one in a domed
