I chose all of the above, but here is the order that I usually take when I have a question. I have only been a member of RCU for a short time, but have been lurking since around November of last year.

When I have a question, this is the order of people I ask:

1. LHS manager. He has become a good friend since I started in the hobby in October 2003.
2. Club president. Not so much because he is the president, more that he is knowledgable and friendly. He takes phone calls at "strange" times, took time out from working on his latest build on a Saturday to break in a new engine for me. The only problem he has is he thinks that Super Tigre engines are the best!
3. Guys at the field that I have gotten to know and trust. You know after a short time at the field who to ask and who not to.
4. RCU.

When I ask a question on the forums here, I look at differing opinions, but usually go with the responses of a few. As I have lurked the forums for a few months, I have a good idea of who's opinions I "trust" over others. Like MinnFlyer, etc. Everyone has an opinion, but I am free to pick and choose the opinions based on my criteria. Not post count, mainly answers to others questions that make sense, agree with what I have learned, etc.

That is why you don't see a lot of questions from me on the forums here. Most of the advice I get is local. You cannot beat local advice, especially when you can keep going back with more questions and help when you need it.
