Question

HeliEng,

You can't have it both ways, a lively forum and a quiet nap.

When someone posts their thoughts, and they are simply wrong, if there is no challenge, this forum will turn into a dumping ground for unchallanged theories and misleading information. We are not talking about what color to paint your living room, where the "wrong" color does not exist except in opinion. We are talking about how and why the machines we fly behave the way they do. Facts must predominate.

Where someone posts a wrong fact, it should and must be challanged if it is important enough. The object of this forum is to help folks decide what to do and how to fly their machines, not to let you rest easy.

I don't particularly like to argue, either, BTW.

Let the group decide - is this forum to be a simple unchallanged place to park any idea, however valid and flawed? Should readers be lead to believe (in this specific incidence) that a float landing is made dangerous by gyroscopic precession? Please, let the group call it. If the neighborhood decides that, I can live with it, elsewhere.
