I think the voice of reason last time this came up was Pete:

I dont think there is too much of a saftey issue i think it more a case of interfearance and missfires due to the number of 2.4ghz being used and this being the case a lot less suppression on motors ect the interfearance is increasing and thus this appears to have started into a debate about saftey when it should be more along the lines of reliability ...... Not wanting to start a debate more just to offer my oppinion ...

I would sugest that the above is only my interpratation of what i see going on as i used to suffer from iterfearance with everything i built ie:

ok at home ... in the garage ... tech check ..... but in the arena ...like it was nothing i built.. lol.. but then i changed to 2.4ghz and have never suffered since ...

So i would recomend and do so quiet often that all newcomers buy 2.4ghz and anyone with problems try it i always have a spare set at most events so anyone with said issues is always welcome to try it out ........

I think it is absolutely right that this is not a safety issue. It is a reliability issue. Personally I wont be affected by any ban on 40Mhz so from a really selfish point of view I don't really care about it.

Kane advised that before implementation this would be discussed at 'the next FRA meeting', maybe an update is required before getting into a heated debate.
