I never said any thing about changing anything for the sake of changing. Rod and I were discussing f boards and how many clubs are getting away from that venue. Basically what i like about 2.4 is no f board,no radio impounded and not having to go to the board for a clip when I want to check out my boat or my planes. Plus less people having to work the board at meets. As far as following fads I don't. I simply do as I please... as far as the kool-aid goes mine comes in a martini glass with an extra olive. Old ways are fine for whoever enjoys it.... not trying to step on any toes, just discussing alternatives
Good Idea Michael,,lets all have a nice cool drink,I like olives too
and not that kool aid stuff,,yuk lol It's often too easy to write/read context the wrong way and insult or feel insulted, often without intent , I do see Frank's point about what makes you feel better about yourself,,I too have a 7 year old phone,that I don't even use for the internet ,the small screen,lack of a real k/board and the app stuff , flakey probs and bugs does my head in,lol but,I learned to build my own pc,years ago and built a few,,loaded with both win xp and win 7 and I can maintain it and fix most probs,which happen very rarely.
And I definitely see your point Michael,and appreciate your expereince with flight and boats,,all the hassle with clip boards and/or radio impounds,,Hell,,I remember some guy's boat being out of control, because someone turned their radio on without thinking,and another time someone/s radio in the impound tent had been left on or accidentally switched on,,I will be learning to embrace the 2.4 system,with its many different options and adjustability,memory,as I can't find any FM 36Mhz receivers(old flight frequency used in Australia) for my old transmitter to get another boat running,,otherwise I would just use my old stuff lol and Yes,,we should all appreciate each others experiences.alternatives and suggestions
