Wings or for that matter anyone,
Could you please point me to a post where I provided anyone with dangerous advice???????????????
Unwarrented is more of a relative term IMHO However, I'd also be interested in seeing an example of this also!!!!
I have allways taken the time to provide as detailed answer to anyone's question as possible and while I'm not looking for a thank you I would be interested to hear any opinion or comment anyone has. I've been involved in the hobby for the almost 20 years and have never once refused to help a fellow modeler either here or in person!!!!
ive been building 6 years going on 7 and been flying for one. lead me to a thread where i give poor advice that would result in damage to somthing.
second. maybe it would be good to make a very detailed post on such things as covering that are asked very frequently and make them sticky so that they stay on top of the first page??
im figuring that this is similar in style to the post mentioned several times

Hey, I say GO FOR IT!!!!!!
All of us who advise beginners to get an instructor have no idea what we're talking about. We never actually needed an instructor either. We just did it to appease the old farts.
If you go ahead and fly the plane on your own; whats the worst thing that could happen?
You might get lucky and get it off the runway without breaking it or running it into someone. Then if you get it off the runway, it will surely fly straight and level and just climb gently to altitude without throwing you any curveballs, right? What are the chances that you might have the ailerons reversed, or the elevator reversed? Heck, I'll even bet a weeks pay that you'll have the balance perfect!!!!!!
Go for it buddy!!!!!!! YAAAAHHHHHOOOOO
It only costs about $500 to build a plane. You've got deep pockets and if you happen, by some unforseen reason, to crash it; just go get a new one, right? No problem.
I'll bet you can even land the sucker on your first attempt. After all, you do have extensive flight simulator experience. And any idiot knows that a simulator is "Just like the real thing". Flying a simulator has probably made you an expert pilot already, and you haven't even flown a real plane yet. Flying a real RC plane isn't all that different than a simulator. Just go for it!!!!!!!!!!
You might want to take a few pictures of your plane BEFORE you head out to the runway. Just in case something bad happens, and God forbid, you wind up taking the plane home in a trashbag.
Good luck. Heh heh.
can you really blame him? its been adressed 50 times not to mention the 2 threads on it that are on the top 10 on the first page as of the date of this post!
i personaly fell out of my chair laughing. i like helping people but i too get sick of answering the same questions over and over again. im gonna make a list of links to threads that address these frequent issues so i can link in the thread and be done!
back to the first thing. i chalange some one to find somthing that would be hazardus. i freely admit to having lacking knowlage in many RC plane related areas however, the areas i do have experiance in i am VERY good at. I frequently admit my mistakes and share my screw ups with anyone who wants to learn from them (I.E. under beginers here somewhere, i have a post in respons to somthign where i freely state that i glued my whole hand to the wing sheeting of my LT-25.
i trully dont mean to "rip into him" as was stated earlier however, i think that this 2 month generalization is only slightly correct since at 2 months i had a very good understanding of many key aspects (such as how the plane works... thats kinda important eh?) and the 2 year thing is assinin... after 6 years, i doubt theres a plane out therei can't build (NOTE i did not say fly!) and i feel that i can offer muc hadvice on many things even if i havent built that exact plane. most manufacturers use very similar construction from plane to plane so if you have built one then you have some idea of how the other one builds. if you wanna say im wrong here be my guest.
note also taht i still cant cover as well as many of the fine plaens i see on RCU but i can build and build i do. so to say that some one who has been in the hoby for 2 months should not be listend to due to their lack of experiance is incorrect and somewhat insultin if you were that person since you may spend every waking hour of those 2 months learning to build, cover and fly. and who knows, there may be people out there who are more mechanicly inclined than any of us, who after 2 months can out build, cover and fly any one of us!
ive actualy stoped even reading threads where i know that there going to be about questions answered a million times and maybe if some more people do that then it may click in some ones mind that it would be faster to use that little white tct box that sayd search... or maybe im just another one of those arsholes noted above but atleast im not wasting my time. if it is truly a question that has not been stated to the point of causing some members seizures then i am more than happy to answer it. i believe that the original post was a very good one suporting a very good idea to solve a very real and painful problem however, i also believe that the posts folowiong (not all but most) were not needed and added little to this toic if anything ecxept causing several people (myself included) to wear their keyboards down a little more than they already were and powt novels like this.
on another topic, MinnFlyer im assuming that you know every person on this forum since you stated that you seem to have a knowlage for the validity of every emmber here. that or you assume that the rest uf us can mentaly keep track of who is and is not a valid source or good and reliable information with new members signing up every day. there are a select few people who i know have good advise and the rest i assume do based on common sence and what i already know. (i.e. the guy who says that he funs gasoline in his glow engine and it works great is a moron i come to this conclusion based on my knowlage on un modified glow engines and the compresion ratios needed to get gasoline to spontaniously combust (there is a reason after all that deisle engines use deisle and not gasoline).
and once again i believe that i set a new world record for the longest run on/ group of run ons.
thats it, im done ranting.
