This forum has been an indispensable tool for me. I have relied on the information found here to get my Phantom flying with all the accessories installed. Thank you all for the help!
The one thing that kind of bothers me is seeing the negativity show up in so many threads. It discourages me from discussing things knowing that someone may criticize or poke fun. In fact, I’ll probably get some, “Stop your whining!” type replies here. I don’t really care, and don’t take things personally but I know how good it can feel to have the support of a forum in a hobby.
I think one of the reasons there is so much negativity is because there are users with a very wide range of RC / Phantom experience. From a teen who is interested to seniors that have been flying RC all their lives. The other factor is probably communication styles. For some, to suggest that one is lazy for not reading a manual is not a big deal. To others, hearing this makes the person saying it a bad person.
Maybe we can all meet somewhere half-way, in a Phantom world, where we are all friends, or Phantom Pilots….
