NO 35mhz is legally aircraft use only, 40mhz is ground based only i e cars
boats, 27mhz is both and I personally would not fly a large plane on 27mhz,
you could change the transmitter with a changeable module to convert between
35mhz and 40mhz these are £70 for futaba the price of a 4 channel
transmitter go with 35mhz for air and 27mhz for the boat a 2 channel tranny
on 27mhz is only £8
