Jester,
Forgive me but I was responding to a post a page or three back. I admit I did not review pages after that point.
Despite what are at times "somewhat" sarcastic or cynical posts, I do like and want to help people avoid making some of the mistakes I have. I have a lot of them to reference. For general informational purposes, and not directed at or to you, the posts that irritate me usually come from people that clearly didn't read the instructions that come with the H, look at the videos and docs on the SD card, or review information at the Yuneec website. More often than not the same post describes how the bricked the H or 16, crashed at take off or landing, experienced toilet bowling, or can't make the camera work. They also often mention how their system didn't need calibration. They usually make it a point to blame the product or the manufacturer.
For people that fit those profiles I offer the following; although Yuneec documentation does bot state what will or could happen if they fail to read and follow provided and available documentation, taking the time to review the stuff before the first flight and additional review while gaining experience will largely prevent the problems they write about, saving them repair time and money.
To you Jester, I also offer an apology in return. I have my bad days too and at times can irritate. I've never been politically correct as I believe it leaves too much room for people to find a way to avoid responsibility. Sometimes an irritating post is intentional
Ah yes...Political correctness: A doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
My favorite quote. I'm not one for political correctness either.
We may have started off on the wrong foot, but due to my back problems causing a limp on my good side, I wouldn't have much left to stand on so I always try avoid staying on the wrong foot. We're all good, sir.
Now don't let think for a moment that I won't harass you for insutling comments from time to time
but that is because I was born without a sugarcoating filter. I believe you may be able to relate to that. Having severe ADD, I wasn't born with an "On Deck" circle for my thoughts. They just go up to the plate and swing for the fence. Like I said in a previous post, and have had to explain to people throughout my life... I'm just as surprised as you people by the **** that comes out of my mouth. OMG, look at me, I found a way to avoid that responsibility you were just speaking of. Ok, joking aside. We're all good, and I know my luck, so All of your advice is always read and taken...if I remember it. Having lost a pinky to a brand new, (but recalled due to programming issues) RC plane, and most of the use of my ring finger, I share your advice of avoiding the hand catching of the H, among other things. BTW, they put my pinky finger back on. It just doesn't bend or feel much now so it makes a dangerous booger picker. Too bad it wasn't my middle finger. That not bending thing would have been a great excuse. Not that I don't use that excuse still. It's just that they usually find out I'm lying when they it work properly later. Anyways, I think we just deliver our message different on things. That's ok though, being pretty new to UAV's, I have very few messages to deliver anyways. Happy flying!
