Wake up! Time to fly!
Hello all I hope the new year finds you all safe and happy and able to get out to fly on occasion.
It is a good time of year to bring this up as many got new toys for the holidays and are or will be getting out to fly them. We go through this every year and all during the year. A lot of us here are happy to step up and help anyone with questions issues or want to learn. To help us better help you during troubled times I have made a list of things you as the one needing help should bring to the table when asking for help.
It seems the more people we have from different countries the harder it is getting to get the full picture of an issue we are trying to help with. Sometimes getting that information is as hard as pulling teeth from an angry dog snarling and snapping at you. We spend hours or even days just trying to pull the needed information from the one asking for help. Frustration levels on both sides of the table build and make it hard and confusing the more people getting into a thread to help come up with varied ideas due to lack of good starting information.
That said if you need help we are more then happy to do so. Here is a list of things I would like to see when you ask for help.
1. Make and model numbers of the gear we are talking about. An example is saying I have a spectrum radio does not cut it as there are so many variations in what each one they sell can or can not do. Off name parts from banggood is another example. They dont always work or operate as intended so more specifics are needed.
2. Pictures. I can not stress this one enough. More can be drawn from a clear picture then what a new person who is unfamiliar with the gear can put into words. Clear, well lit and in focus panoramic view pictures are best when using cellphones.
3. Video of an issue as it happens if repeatable. Again well lit panoramic videos are best. Vertical video ANYTHING does no one any good unless you area Karen on a rampage then its just plain funny. These can be posted to your tube and can be linked directly to the thread using the insert pull down menu then selecting media and pasting the url of the video there. It will pop up in the thread saving any who wish to help time searching or leaving this site. You can keep the videos private and still be able to drop them in here. You can always delete them later after your problem has been resolved although we ask you dont so others can search the same issue and hopefully already see it has been addressed.
Links to off site pages rarely get answered with the internet safety issues that abound today so save everyone the time and drop pictures and videos directly in your thread here in the forums.
4. Suggested addendums. Use forum keyword search as more then likely your issue is not the first time to happen and there may already be resolved questions elsewhere also checking the Articles people have done.
I know this may sound petty and picky but after trying to help so many people and going thru the same thing in many of the cases it is much easier just trying to establish a certain format for asking for help making the best most easiest way to get answers.
Happy Flying to all.
