Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well done those who have replied But come on the rest of you guys. We have somewhere around 50 replies - but over 350 have looked at the thread - that means 300+ of you have read the tread but not responded! What's with this? Is what mode you fly confidential information? Come on lads and lasses, let's try and reach at least 100 - without that we have a unreliable result. So please help but me out of this torment of not knowing the answer to the questions BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instructor (Bought an electric plane and learned the basics myself, after crashing so much the plane became unfixable due to so many repairs, decided to join a club and learn properly, which i did and it really is worth doing. You think you can fly untill you get taught properly then you think you were crap lol.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Littleton Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 1 , Mode 2 2, west midlands 3, west midlands 4, Instructor In my opinion you can,t beat good instruction , even if you pay it is still cheaper than crashing lots of models. I have been lucky and have managed to use my cash to increase and improve my fleet. les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi, well 65 responses so far. I've transfered them to a spreadsheet (sad I know - but I'm off work due to the weather situation!) prior to doing some stats analysis. I'll leave it running for a little while yet as responses are still coming in. Just to whet your appetite there are already some interesting (and unexpected) trends emerging - like it seems, on first glance, that you might be more likely to fly mode 1 if your self taught? Mmmmm? As I say I haven't done the proper analysis yet so that is very tentative - but possibly interesting. Keep the responses coming in - as I say the more we have the more accurate the result.
