I've tried to do a little reading into this and im starting to get a little confused. I've just purchased my plane and hope to get it flying this weekend and im already looking at putting a wireless camera onto it.Im using a Spektrum DX6i DSM 2 transmitter with the Spektrum A6200 Reciever on the 2.4ghz wavelength.After alot of googleing and forum searching I've got myself confused. Some people say that using a 2.4ghz video system with a 2.4ghz controller is absolutely fine with no issues. Others say use a Mhz frequency video system so it wont interfere and will offer better range capabilites.What frequency would be best to use? 1.3Ghz? 2.4Ghz? 5.2Ghz? *Mhz? Im after the best range with minimal or no intereference. Can anyone reccomend a good setup or link me to one. I'm based in the UK so i dont think im restricted by licensing for certain bands (Although if someone could confirm this also that would be good)I appreciate all of your helpCheersTom

In the UK it is illegal to use 900, I believe this is a cell phone frequency. 1.3 is legal but not for airborne transmission and the hardware is supposed to be a bit behind the times. 5.8 requires more specialised antennae I read that a fully reliable setup for this is not really available yet.
Hi Tom,
I am going through the same process as you and have found much of the same conflicting information about using 2.4GHz for a video system. To be safe it is probably just best to use a different frequency band so there is little or no chance of possible interference.
