Any benefit in 35MHz

[Shikra]

For OP - 35mhz is very good - the more remote you fly the further you reduce risk of someone else using your channel. I used it for 20 years. 5 of which FPV. Only the antenna length made me move away for FPV once I strated to do loops etc.
But yeah - don't forget to check blackwire as above....


I wonder how many have failesafe set correctly... or test what happens when tx is turned off rather that simulated by a tx switch. Especially multirotor guys. Many rx failsafe to zero throttle.


For the debate above - in normal legal / contractual terms "should" means recommended best practice but optional and "shall" means mandatory. I work with that legislative cr4p all the time. It can be misinterpreted real easy.
Not that the CAP is a legal doc anyway.

Will be interesting to see how the guide is updated.

I used 35mhz for fpv for a while.

Given the choice of 2.4 or 35mhz I'd go for 35, the chance of a fatal lockout when pushing range is minimised and as the majority of club flyers have switched that band is much quieter than it used to be.

You will have to get used to a little glitching though as you will want to be using PPM for best results.

And a very important tip if pushing the range

DO NOT POINT THE TX ANTENNA TOWARDS THE MODEL.

This is true for all frequencies but especially important if flying longer range. The maximum RF radiation is off the sides of the antenna, the minimum off the tip. Graphically the radiation pattern looks something like a donut.
