I have been out of the RC hobby for some time now and want to get back into flying. I started about 15 years ago on a Gentle Lady, then moved on to a couple of power models before comming back to a Sagitta 900. I want to get back into flying with a HLG. I am currently living down under in Perth, WA. The frequencies here are on a 36 Mhz band. I have been told that is illegal to operate US equipment on the 72 Mhz band. But I see plenty of Toys R US and Tandy/Radio Shack RC cars for sale which are on the 50 and 72 Mhz bands and even some on a 40 Mhz band. I was also wondering what the competition pilots do when they come to Australia to fly. My old radio gear is from the mid 80s so I need to buy new equipment, its just that I don't want to spend heaps of money on something that won't work when I return to the States. Also the same radio gear sold here is considerably more expensive than what you can get in the States with the only difference being 36 vs 72 Mhz. Anyone have any experience with this they can throw my way? Thanks, David O'Donnell Perth, WA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
