No problem, I didn't take it as bashing of either. Although it's really nobody's fault, helis tend to get a bad rap, mostly because unlike airplanes, newbies tend to be left to learn mostly on their own. If someone says for whatever reason that they are going to learn to fly airplanes on their own, he will not doubt receive strongly worded suggestions to not do so. That is usually not the case for helis, although it will be suggested to try to find someone to help setup and flight trim his heli, in most cases, he has no choice but to go through the expensive trial and error hovering learning curve. Instructors who actually give hands-on hover/flight instruction are rare as hen's teeth. lol
