Showin' yer age, mate. If it's a 2.4 GHz system, like most of the newfangled control devices these days, you're probably OK. Just double-check the restrictions before you get the system.

(And yes, I do know how aircraft frequency control is supposed to work at a given flying field. I have also heard about what happens when a boat is using an aircraft frequency near a flying field, many years ago and very ugly the incident was.)
