I thought 2.4 was all the rage. People abandoning 72 and ham band en
masse to use 2.4 and selling everything off. So, why are we not
seeing it as much in the sailplane world?
At the SW Classic there were not nearly as many as I expected. I did
not get the count but it was far less than we thought we'd get. Now,
I was reviewing the pilot list for the IHLGF and see that there are
only 4 pilots using 2.4, myself included (53 total entries).
I am using the Futaba Fasst System. I have the 9C Super transmitter
with the 2.4 Fasst Module and the 607 Fasst receivers in my Blaster,
Blaster 2 and Vandal. These small receivers fit nicely and the two
whisker antennas are easily exited from the fuselage.
So far they are working great with no range issues. Admittedly, I have
not used the system in a crowded environment, but I have no doubt it
will work fine.
