But again, this is an apples to oranges comparison as Spektrum controls the protocol from top to bottom.

Spektrum, Futaba, JR, and I think there's another brand all use the same 2.4GHz frequency. Each has its own set of hardware, but any Spektrum reciever can bind to any Spektrum transmitter (within a certain amount), and the same for the others. You could have huge flights with everyone using a different setup, and not a plane will go down due to interference. Even with all the transmissions from all those transmitters.

If we didn't need all these sensors and the FMS, I'd say to try using R/C controllers...
