"For parkflyer use only"

Honestly- it doesn't mean much. Just that the manafacturer is not claiming it to be full range. I had a "park flier" orange rx that lost signal at a fairly close distance whilst the Spektrum "park flier" rx I've used has been flown at quite a distance.

I use a variety of Spektrum, OrangeRX and Chinese copies and have found that the flying field has had far more effect on the signal quality than the brand and parkfly or not.

Cheap Chinese copies listed as 'park flyer' would work fine and nearly out of sight on the dunes, slope or beach but the same plane would glitch and brown-out when flown inland and nearer radio masts (and peoples possiblyWIFI routers).

I've also had problems with the Spektrum RX with satalite reciever that came with my DX6i in the playing fields over the housing estate which has 3 mobile masts within sight of the field.

Happily never lost a plane to these problems but have landed with a few flashing lights indicating brown-outs.

I note that the Orange RX R710 originally stated it was 'Full Range' but now it has dropped the term although it claims "Great for medium/small planes & helis, right up to large scale models." which implies full range.

Is there a UK comparable body to the MAAA in Australia and have they not approved these devices therefore they are 'parkfly'?
