It is my opinion the noise they are talking about was in the ear of the MAAA by a local radio supplier (Spectrum/Modelflight), he has caused problems for flyers all over Australia, when anyone on holiday finds even a cheap Spectrum radio overseas, MF through the MAAA made it almost impossible to get that radio approved back in OZ. The first HobbyKing shop front was Hstore here in Sydney, a supporter of Spectrum radio gear, as soon as Hstore was renamed and the store relabeled HobbyKing, Spectrum cut them off. Hstore was happy to keep on supporting Spectrum, but Spectrum would not support HobbyKing, that meant no more anything that Modelflight supplied, and they are a major supplier of aircraft, cars and boat kits. I think that's why Anthony opened the Adelaide HobbyKing only 3 Klicks from Modelflight to have a poke back at them. It's funny, I have the HobbyKing 6 channel 2.4gig radio, it's approved C tick and all using the same version 2 FHSS system as the 9X.
Many Thanks,
