Hello!
Just wanted to send you a short note to thank you for your great, quick response from the “crystal exchange program”! I mailed two crystals in for the first time last Saturday and received my requested ones this Saturday. Wow! Radical RC” Crystal exchange program” really rocks! I’m an older, retired, fixed income RC flyer and such a program is a big plus to me.
Thanks again!

Artical at Model Airplane News written by: Dave Horvath
This is an important artical explaining some of the reasons why 2.4ghz has issues. People can be counted on to always presume that newer is better. I was very late to start using 2.4ghz due to reliability issues. With about 1/3 of our hobby being replaced by newbies every year, it makes perfect sense that not many lifers are left that remember what standards of reliability we had acheived with 72mhz. Dave Horvaths artical is important reading to gain a broader understanding of how things work.
