Let's take this one first: But, seriously, are you expecting over 40 sailplanes to be in the air at one time at a typical club field? Those who posted this implied 'everything will be okay' rationale don't attend big events where the problem has never been a conflict of planes in the air, we have clips and impounds and channel assignments for those. The guys who have 2.4 fell in love with them especially because they didn't "have to worry about pins, clips and impounds any more" . Now you can just pull up put your plane together, turn on and fly...even on Visalia Friday. There is a lot more than 50 guys with sailplanes wanting to fly, assemble, program etc on any given major contest day. On is on, regardless of if the models are in the air. ON means transmissions. How is the CD gonna handle 2.4 count and amounts when their owners feel they are safe to turn on at any time? Back to pins on this time they represent count instead of freq channel? 1 thru 39? The next one that I didn't see addressed is the 'mixing' part...what happens when you have Futa, Xtreme, Spectrum, Airtronics, and the Chinese show up together...regardless of numbers. ________________________________________ I gotta go with Yogi Berra on this one, "Nobody flies 2.4 anymore. It's too crowded."
