Do we read the manuals or just go blindly forward?
« on: June 06, 2008, 05:07:32 AM »
Here's a question that I ask myself regularly.... ???

How many people actually READ the manuals that come with our aircraft and radios? By this I mean really read the stuff so that you understand and absorb what is in the little black letters on the page?

Let's see a show of hands......... ;D

I've learnt the hard way to at least read the bits where the pictures don't explain properly... :P

I read the manuals or the relevant parts of it anyway. I like to understand why what is done.

GUILTY!
Rarely read a manual. Sometimes if I get stuck on a heli build and I've got spares left. Like to find out what I forgot and fly it anyway.( Makes it lighter) LOL  :D :D :D :P :P
