I am sure BrianG will be glad to know you think his speed calculator is "crap". It's a valuable tool that states it may not be 100% accurate due to other factors but works better than anything else out there. Maybe you should think before offering blanket statements that cut down the hard work of people on this forum.

That was exactly my point. No one likes to be crapped on no matter what the skill level. If you don't want to help out the noobs then do not post on their threads. I know Brian developed the speed calculator. I was being sarcastic to make a point. I know the calculator works great. Neil, while I know get annoyed at the beginers never the less is patient, witty and takes time to help out and explain/recommend solutions. He is an asset to both forums. All I'm saying is that everyone was a noob at one time and you need to can the holier than thous attitudes. If you look at some of the elitist wanna be experts on any of the forums and search their earlier posts you will find that they have learned a lot and asked their share of stupid questions.

way OT here. there are too many self styled experts around in any forums. i never understood how there could be such a thing as 'smart experts' and 'dumb noobs' in rc-forums. all i see is users with less or more experience. words like 'educate' or 'god' or whatever are very suspicious to me. it makes me feel that some people think they have eaten rc-wisdom for breakfast. imo all you can share in forums is your assistance and experience. not more and not less.

i see that there could be high level theoretical discussions on a more formal level about some special fields in physics that apply to the rc world. not just some basic formulas but a real debate. however my feeling is that there are very few theoretical "experts" with a solid background (read somebody with at least a BA or MA in physics or a similar field) around in rc-forums. i can understand that fully. because i guess if i would really understand much of the 'background' things going on in my rc-model i would go crazy with all the trashtalking going on in rc-forums. so probably those guys prefer to stay out of such (annoying) discussions.

that leaves us with more or less mostly as beginners with just some degree of experience.
