Rc car transmitter/receiver vs plane transmitter/receiver

[HidalgoJaime]

I was curious why plane receiver/controller combos are able to get a further range than ground based rc controllers and receivers. I know that rc plane controllers often use a higher frequency, but I was curious if that was the reason for the further range? I've tried looking around online but haven't gotten a good answer. I appreciate any input!

Oh yes, just because you keep line-of-sight...
