Many years ago we formed a club and approached our city (Mesa,AZ) for an approved flying site (it's illegal to fly in Mesa city limits). In their infinite wisdumb they allowed us to fly in a water retention bowl next to SRCHHA helicopters in the next bowl over. We had to work our way through barbed wire for access! While in talks with the total dickhead president of SRCHA he determined that WE should change from 72 mhz to 2.4 ghz to avoid frequency conflicts with them. I begrudgingly updated my much beloved Futaba 9C to 2.4 GHz with the module from Horizon hobby. It turned out that the area we fought so hard for just't wasn't worth the fight after all and I only flew there twice. In over 40 years of flying 72 mhz I've had VERY FEW glitches and zero that resulted in a crash. My 72 mhz scanner now NEVER shows a frequency conflict regardless where I fly. Let the "sheeple" continue to spend the big bucks on 2.4 GHZ TX and RX and I'll continue to buy 72mhz RX's for pennies on the dollar......
