Lee Morgan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 As far as I was aware 27MHZ is not for use with flying models. Am I wrong??Best RegardsLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the unmagnificent man Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi Lee, Parkzone have them in their aircraft as standard and so one can only assume it to be legal or they wouldn't be allowed to sell them surely? When the Fokke wulf was reviewed in RCM&E it had a 27mhz radio system and there was no mention of it being illegal. What with all the cars and boats on 27mhz I wouldnt like to risk it.

Lee Morgan Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Cheers for that Al, I would most certainly not use it cos my car was always going off on its own but at least that is on tera firma lolLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bran Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 For the definitive answer............http://www.ukrcc.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bran Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 AND BTW, most 27MHz gear put in planes is FM...cars, boats, etc are AM.I have ground tested a "Red" plane on FM near a car on "Red", on th face of it the same frequency apart from the modulation used.....and while I would not fly it, there was not as much interference as you might think!!!

david field Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 can anyone help,please? I know live in an area near an electric power flying club. my last clud was i.c.power.I have anumber of planes which I wish to convert to electric and am wondering if there is a fairly straighforward correlation as regards power. ie one small plane has an os20 another a 40.I wish to keep the performace levels about the same. What would the equivalent brush/brushless be.? Iwould be greatfull for anyinfo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Morgan Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi DavidTo get an answer to your question I would start a new thread. That way all will see your request.

david field Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I now have a number of electric flight models flying but am having trouble with glitching on two. Both are using high kv motors turning small props with pusher configuration. the same setup with front motor with a bigger prop gives no trouble. I have tried a ferrite ring on the esc to receiver leed,2 turns. The models concerned are foam Ally Cat and deppron d-tyke..I can't see the foam making a difference. I keep the esc and receiver as far apart as possible and route the arial straight to the wing tip. Any ideas please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Richards Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Try at least 3 turns at least on the ferrite ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa_steve Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 david i would personally start a new thread in the electric flight section but i will ask are you using ppm or pcm receivers???nasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 27mhz is used for land based models like cars and boats and 35mhz is for air based models like planes and heli's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 But 27Mhz can actually be used for other types too...including aeroplanes. It is 35Mhz which is exclusive to aeroplanes only and must NOT be used for land / water based vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 27 Mhz was dropped mostly, because the frequency was adopted by a radio station. RC Aircraft were allocated with 35 mhz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Tee Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 27Mghz AM (not come across an FM version) was and is still in use for all forms of RC models. It is prone to interferance, when CB first hit the UK market it pretty much killed the 27Mghx gear and downed a lot of models. It's still legal to fly/drive models using this equipment and some low cost models come complete with 27Mghz gear, but definatly not recomended particularly for aircraft. AFAIK it would be illegal to operate a radio station on 27mghz as the frequency is alocated to RC models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
