The latest thread regarding FCC compliance got me thinking.  I'm about to
start on producing my first commercial product (100% developed and produced
by me, that is), which is intended for the model airplane (hobby) industry.
I hope to produce at least a few hundred per year.

Basically it's an in-flight monitor (no RF or telemetry) that stores
measured values of altitude, etc.  The unit operates at 4 MHz and borrows
power from the flight battery pack of the radio control.  (I don't know if
any of this matters, but I'm including it for information.)

Do I have to be concerned about FCC compliance for this application?  That
is, do I have to have this formally certified in order to sell it
commercially?  Does it need some sort of markings on the package that
indicate compliance?  Or can I just "let the buyer beware" so to speak?  I
feel that this is a relatively innocuous application, and this isn't going
to cause problems with the radio controls (they typically operate in the 72
KHz range), as I've tested it on a number of airplanes using various radios.
