RE: When Do You Stop Believing?
I don't worry about changing things if I feel it makes sense. I don't consider that the designer necessarily knows more then I do, as many times this might not be so. We are talking about a hobby and I think it unlikely that many designers have any type of degree behind his name for designing model aircraft. So, they came up through the hobby and may have less experience then I, or may lack communications skills and that makes for trouble with the instructions. To be able to communicate throught the written word, how to do something, is a skill unto it's own. Generally between the plans, instructions and my own abilities, I can come up with a workable solution. Sometimes it's as good as or even better then what the designer intended.
