Am I illegal doing that?

I don't think that's illegal. We think of the sticks and such as part of our R/C transmitter, but I think the FCC is refering to the RF stage. In fact, I think it would be legal to modify even the electronics that produce the PPM signal that is sent to the RF stage.

I would guess a lawyer would really focus on the builder of the heli.

The lawyer will go after the one with the money (or insurance).

The lawyer will focus on ANYONE that is associated with anything to do with the injruy and that has any money they can get.

Yes, FCC is only concerned about the RF deck and components. Heck, they even blessed the Specturmizing of 6102s as long as you also transfer the acceptance sticker.

Oh, and once the worng person in the gov figures out they can make some money on this, they will be all over it.

And BTW while the FCC doesn't seem to do much WRT things like this, I know a guy that after $20K of attourney fees, still had to pay $25K to stay out of jail, and he was running CB.

Pinecone where are you at in Maryland?
I'm in northern Va...Last exit on I81

I was into the CB thing many years ago the FCC was watching us hard then.
Tell your friend not to run a 1MW linier and he would have been ok :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Up near Aberdeen. I work in Rosslyn.

He got hit with being off frequency and talking over the 5 mile limit.

Ah Aberdeen, I used to race boats down there once in a while in Harve-de-Grace when I lived in Philly.

I raced sailboats there.

I'll bet you know my old boss - Stan Honey. He recently navigated the winning boat in the Volvo race.
