2.4ghz

[funfreex]

Just reading through the BMFA hand book and noticed on page 68, headed "The 2.4ghz band", it recommends this band is only used indoors due to poor range issues! I have been led to believe this type of radio equipment was the bees knees, and cuts out glitch issues also.

I do not know enough about this to make my own guestimations on what is better, but is this a problem or not? Up until now I thought I had made a mistake when I purchased a 35mhz set and considered changing to 2.4gig to solve my glitch issues.

I only fly a small heli so it never really gets too far away, so maybe it would be ok?

Think that must be old news in the manual that needs updating?
they say low range due to max power of 10mw, but I think 2.4Ghz now work at 100mw and have No range problems, except the DX6, which is a lower range park flyer, although DX6i has full range....

anyone feel to correct me if I'm wrong?

I use 2.4 on all of my stuff including my planks which get a fair distance away with no loss of anything, if you've got a good 35Mhz set though keep hold of it 'til it breaks and then upgrade, that was my reason and it does work out quite costly if you've more than a few models.
