| I think Driftrider said it well. There is no relationship between post count and heli knowledge/setup.
I know many of these so-called "checkbook flyers". Never heard it called that before but very accurate description. Love to talk the BS while most can't fly to save their butt! There is a local flier that flies a Raptor 30 with all digital servos, JR 5000 extreme gyro, carbon flybar stiffeners, loads of shiney parts, all controled by a 10x and he is barely to the forward flight stage after two years. But this guy will be more than happy to tell me what I need to do differently with my inches high inverted hover. Is this particular guy stupid and a waste of time? Definately not. Can this particular guy be irritating? Definately so.
You just have to take these types with a grain of salt, graze what information you can, and throw out the rest. Its kind of what makes this hobby great for me. You meet all types.
In the end, it all about making the most out of this wonderful hobby we ALL enjoy. If you didn't have some attraction to this hobby, you wouldn't be sitting in front of your computer reading this at 8:00 p.m. on a Monday night!
Later,
