The only type of contest I know of that is pretty unlimited in amount of transmitters out is a soaring event. I have counted 32 planes in the air at Visalia. Could be more at times.
I could be wrong but most events (powered aircraft) limit the amount of transmitters out (based on flight stations) at any one time. The IRCHA heli event may be an exception. I had heard the magic number for 2.4 is 41. Who knows for sure. That is one reason why I'm not ready to completely abandon 72 mhz. Darwin N.

Interesting stuff, Gordy. Now the manufacturors have to give us the lowdown on it. It doesn't sound like this would be so quickly embrassed by so many experienced fliers if the max number of fliers at any one time would be 39. And I got my AMA card a week ago.
