I'm thinking of starting a project for a low budget (add emphasis) RC modules to control some very simple drones, similar to cars. I've done a little research on frequencies, and tend to favor 49Mhz bands.
There will need to be 4 separate units, operating at the same time. They will be extremely local, so they would be very low power. That will take care of legal requirements nicely.
I'm not too worried about the digital encoding/decoding, that is actually very easy. Making a stable transmitter and a receiver for bottom dollar is a bit more intimidating, but not especially so.
Before I invest some serious skull sweat and solder I was wondering if folk knew what else was out there.
BTW, a frequency chart for the USA.
