Well... the hardware Will work, buuuuuut the main reason for using surface channels is so you will not interfear with nearby r/c aircraft. My team will probally be using my aircraft radios however I know that noone in my flying club (only one for ~30 miles) has radios on my channel.

If you do decide to use aircraft band radios please check with your local flying clubs as to what channel you could use.

also 4 channels is quite a bit for one person to control and after you get up past 4 channels you get into a situation where switches control the servos between 2-3 or so positions or you may have a dial on 6ch or more radios.

I would go with 2 ground frequency radios of 4 channels each.
