Not to worry, I've been using that equipment for long and are well in
to the laws and such here in Sweden. It's in a legal and open, free
band with no restrictions at all. No one uses that frequency for
airplanes anymore here in Sweden, and if they do they have only them
self to blame is something goes wrong.
I've been using model airplanes for over ten years now and as the
restrictions are it's not likely that someone will use one over my
house (where I plan to use the truck) since I live in a city.
But thanks for your input, it is an important issue! I've seen planes
go down in over 300km/h due to people that don't give a sh*t about the
rules here in Sweden and the 'landingmark' ain't pretty!
