New GS storm

[Storming]

Well sold my old tired, bent, abused, 50% superglue and hairy string storm for a good price. I really couldn't believe it, Just came back from a break in NY where I picked up a new one for the same money I sold the old one for Hoping to break the engine in ASAP starting next week. The car came with a JR racing XR3i radio, seems great although I'm used to sticks so time will tell.
Trouble is the frequency is 75 MHZ FM. In the UK we use 27MHZ AM and 40 MHZ FM frequency radios in cars so I'm not sure if I will be crashing someone’s plane when I'm using this car. Could be a laugh although a bit cruel finding out? Does anyone know if 75 MHZ FM is used in the UK, and if so for what I.E planes? Is there any legal issues using this frequency? For curiosity's sake should I accelerate or brake to cause a nosedive for my poor victim;-) ?

As far as I know it is for aircraft and you'd be a plonker to purposely wreck someone elses pride & joy, how old are you - 16, grow up dude

...and yes, there are legal issues, i.e. the licence for surface only covers 27/40 meg

On the steerwheel front, I've used sticks for 28 years and had to use steerwheel after a work accident left my left thumb/index partially paralysed

It took a couple of weeks to get used to it, but you'll love the precise control of the steering, the throttle takes a bit of getting used to

I still use my 3VC but got hold of a 3PJ off ebay a few weeks ago (I had a KO Mars about 3 years ago but sold it to get the 3VC)

This will help you:

UK uses 40Mhz for surface vehicles, and 35Mhz for air.

You can also use 27 MHz, and 459 MHz apparently.

USA uses 75Mhz for surface, and 72Mhz for air.

There's other bands that are in the grey, such as 50Mhz for surface in the USA, which can be used if you have a license and they aren't very hard to get as far as I know.

So no, you shouldn't crash anyone's plane with 75Mhz over there, but you could possibly interfere with something else, or recieve interference from something else.
