I couldn't possibly do this.....why? Because all the guys over at RCG that "had problems".....got their threads deleted!!! |
|
|
|
|
Yep. And I am glad they did get deleted. They could have stayed, along with the information in those threads. The folks with issues could NOT stay civil, and would repeat the same heartburn over and over and over. Someone looking for actual information would see their question, and possible answers get turned in to a bickering contest. Folks who like the product were at fault in this exchange also.

I have seriously spent a lot of time over at RCG , and was reading through a brand new thread......only to see it was deleted by the moderator <<<< JIM , which is totally unfair!! I have seen SO MANY threads get deleted right after they had been posted , it was crazy! |
|
|
|
|
Yes, crazy. Once a person complained about losing a model, they would NOT stop. The threads deserved to be deleted.

This is what gets me all fired up inside. Is the fact that the guys who praise it are allowed to stay , and the guys who have condemed it , or better yet , just want clarification on things........get their posts deleted!! |
|

See above. Posts and threads that stayed civil usually stay. And frankly, it IS his forum to do with as he sees fit. Those who wished to discuss over and over and over again about their problems were free to clutter the General Radio forum.

Here on FG , if there is a problem with a system , motor , aircraft , or anything , Max and the other Mods usually let it slide until the company can come in and explain things. Unlike RCG , they give the creator of the product , FULL disclosure of HIS THREAD , which is unfair! It's unfair for everyone , not just the guys who had problems with the system , but new potential buyers.....whom are being mislead!! |

It is only unfair if RCG also deleted negative posts in all the forums, which they do not. Go over there and see how easy it is to complain about a Hitec product in that Vendor forum........

do you understand what i'm saying? I have read through a bunch of posts in this thread alone , along with many other posts , of people losing their very high dollar aircraft to this system. That is really sad. |
|
|
|

Yes, it is sad. People who cannot afford to lose a high dollar aircraft should take up knitting. It is a remote control vehicle, and it isn't perfect, no matter which control system you purchase. Sometime, someday, each hobbyist in this hobby WILL crash. Sometimes due to equipment failure, poor equipment design, poor installation, battery failure, structural fatigue or failure, the list goes on. Crashes due to R/C link loss are nothing new.

The saddest thing about this entire argument ( and yes it's an argument ) , is that some of these poor folks , poored everything they have into some of these aircraft , only to be shot down by some inferior system. |
|

|

The real truth is that you do not KNOW that.

I think it kind of hits a little harder over here though , because some guys put more than what they can actually afford into some of these airplanes. I know i do. It can really hit the wallet hard , but to see into go into the ground by something that wasn't your fault , can be a really bad thing. |

So then blame the radio.......
You may wish to re-read my post, and take it into context. It was in response to the post count in this thread, on Flying Giants, and was NOT about the post count on RCG in any way.
I am not knocking FG, or you. But seriously, you are taking my comments out of context, and the real reality of this is that what you see here is a small number of people with crashes, many of them unexplained. You cannot count those people, and expect to get a meaningful datum out of it. Each time a person puts a plane in the air with a remote control system, there is a chance it will crash. It happens. Each person who does this hobby should understand that it can, and most likely will happen to them at some point.
