The thing that gets my "kilt in a wad" as you put it, is people handing out WRONG advice. Especially to the vulnerable newbies. Micros are a totally different kettle of fish to nitros and even larger elecric helis and therefore need proper knowledgable advice handing down.

I've got no doubts that the advice you gave would suit certain situations, but NOT micros and it WAS a micro oriented question.
