XJet, thanks for starting this thread. Your posts have been tremendously enlightening, and I truly appreciate your efforts.

Kiwi, I hope the rest of the testing goes well. The more we know, the closer we are to finding or implementing the safest possible control solution for large RC stuff.

Earlier in the thread the inherent issues with 2.4 were brought up. That made me think. Suppose I am using a 2.4 Ghz device, and then, quite legally, the channel(s) on which I am operating are flooded, by some other device. Now, if I was using the 2.4 band to browse the internet, I lose my connection, swear, and have to refresh the FG homepage. Inconvenient, but no big deal. Or I might lose my cordless phone connection, or the bluetooth headset I'm using doesn't work, or whatever. My point is, none of these things are mission-critical. They temporarily don't work, and nothing really happens.

But if this happens to me when I'm flying my RC model on 2.4, it could cause a crash, safety hazard, etc (I won't go there).

My question is this: is there anything that operates in a manner similar to our RC stuff on 2.4 (ie the connection absolutely can not fail)? If no, then maybe 2.4 really isn't a good choice; maybe it's not meant for something like RC aviation.
