Do. not feel like you are the only occupant of that parallel universe 212man.
In the past couple of days I have been fortunate to learn a lot here in this forum than during my career spent flying helicopters in just about every part of the industry there is....and in more than a few kinds, types, and. models of helicopter.
That is the benefit of this forum....especially when that which is being learned is valid, useful, and accurate.
That is the shortcoming of that parallel universe we slip into at times....where it's conventional wisdom is contrary to the Real World we actually live in.
The danger is there are some through their newness cannot discern the difference and might fall pray to the teachings of that parallel universe.
