Usfulness of equation
Actually there is some use for your theory.
As many inquiries about helis are relative to their dependability and flyability etc. one can use the recent polls done here and on RunRyder as a guide.
The MinAir flyers had 20 % of the flyers
TT had 20% of the flyers
Century had 10% of the flyers
Hirobo had 8%
Jr had 6%
Others made up the 36% remaining.
So using the above and assuming they are all equally well designed and dependable, we can say that for every 6 problems discussed in the JR forum theire should be 8 in the Hirobo forum, 10 in the Century forum, and 20 in each of the MinAir and TT forums. Or to simplify, for every 1 in JR there would be 2 in Hirobo and 2 in Century and 4 in MinAir and 4 in TT.
I am sure if one was to look through the last year in each of these forums they would find that the number of problems discussed are far greater in some of these brand forums then there should be.
This would mean that it is fairly accurate to say that the brand that has greater problems reported then the ratio indicates there should be is less dependable then its competitors.
