Being a model forum - practical experience is likely more easily absorbed by the hobby flier.
I see the formulas posted -which are relevant to those who use this type communication in a daily basis.
Theory is very important -in any technical field. I do understand this .
The formulas and charts given may be very applicable but for the purposes of this forum - communication about hands on testing and fixes relevant to hobby models seems to be a more workable approach in passing on info.
Not being a graduate from any University , I do however , find myself defined by a number of State and Federal Courts as an expert in a number of technical matters.
These involve both mechanical engineering and safety control systems for machinery.
I mention this only because I get repeated referrences of having a non technical background .
When I do my model experiments - I do try to prove -or disprove a question.
Sometimes the experiments fail .
Fail or succeed - I stay with em till I find out why .
That's what I believe modelling is all about.
I once taught theory to professional repairmen- to help them understand trouble shooting of involved equipment.
Watching the eyes of the students , it was evident that theory worked only for a few .
The desire to learn quickly turns off if the communication becomes difficult.
So if my comments seem very non technical - please bear with me .
