Answer
Hi Carl,

The new Wing Dragon's come with a 2.4GHz radio system in the USA.  I'm not sure about in the UK, but that would solve the "frequency" problem.

Crystals are particular to each brand, although some brands are just the same OEM (original equipment manufacturer) items rebranded.  It is best to contact the original seller of the Wing Dragon in your part of the world and see if it is available on other frequencies.  They usually are.

I would recommend that you do a search for Wing Dragon on your side of the pond and see if you can track down the original supplier.

Here is one supplier I found on the Internet over your way.

You might want to contact them.

I noticed that the transmitter looks very similar to other Chinese/Asian transmitters, so you MIGHT be able to do some crystal swapping, but it would be BEST for your friend to get one on a different frequency from yours, or get the CORRECT crystals from a trusted source.

Sincerely,
Ken
