There is one very important point that no one has considered. The FCC
has set up laws prohibiting use of air frequencies on land vehicles.
This is to protect RC pilots from interference from other people on
the same frequency. Someone could be seriously hurt by a crashing
plane due to interference (It has happened). You mentioned it was an
airplane radio. It is most likely on an air frequency. I recommend
that you send it in to the manufacturer to convert to a ground
frequency.
