I have never flown a plane on fixed frequency, so I am all ears to what has been said.

My thoughts just hark back to when 2.4 was being introduced, and reading up on it where ever I could. At the time, boffins were spouting that fixed frequency has a longer range, is not effected by shadowing, etc... and that I have this radio that I have never used lol. Keeping in mind that these same boffins (or similar, at least) are from whom I learned that these new fangled LiPO batteries like to stored fully charged...

Tasmanian Philbo has been mirroring your sentiments, Steve. He uses a practically park flier Orange in his Radjet with a 4S wedged in there and never has reported a brown moment. In his radio.

Thanks guys, I'll stop panicking and bung a 6210 in there with the satellite out under the wing.

Not that it will be in the air anytime soon

PS, also, now I am thinking ... why do I have about 15 29mhz car radios around the house that are not in cars any longer?.... Things that make you go Do'h.
