Hi James,
The 50 MHz band is the newest HAM band for RC flying and offers some more protection
from HAMs.
53 MHz is a ham band and could cause some problems if conditions are right.
I have flown on 53 MHz for years with no problems.
In theory the antennas are different lengths but the ant. on you

I use the same RX's Stumper uses (mostly 649s), rock solid in a contest
environment, I'll trust my most expensive planes with this rx any day of
the week. I use them in my scale plane

Not sure what Futaba makes on 50Mhz but know they offer some of their
transmitters. I assume there's a receiver to match.

in other receivers.
I have several JR's on 50Mhz, including the R600. Haven't seen

Hi Gary,
Yes 50 MHz fadios are legal for airplane frequencies if you are a licensed ham radio
operator. 53MHz frequencies are still OK also.
