People ran to 2.4 Ghz toi get brown out lost signals, and there is a 7C radio in mint shape for $5, that will last you a lifetime. Don't keep up with the Joneses in the RC hobby, it's a pretentious thing to do. Rock solid 72 Mhz is all I've used for 45 years. eBay has receivers for $10 ea, but of course, you wouldn't waste your time on a 250 gram foam litter thing shaped into an airplane...just bust out some rubber band motors and test your trimming slills with free fligtht, incidence, thrust angle, and balance. Look who I'm talking too, ARF and BNF pilots without a clue. Never mind.
