And sometimes the intentions of contributors is misconstrued. I have myself come under attack when I was trying to relate some of my honest experiences, and observations with the Pantera. When an Audacity customer goes to the trouble to document their experiences, good, or bad, THAT is the whole intent of the forums here.
Personally I think the Pantera is a solid ship with decent flight characteristics. As everyone is quick to point out, no model heli is perfect. We don't need a six paragraph lecture extolling the virtues of brand x, and an examination of the competing products every time someone asks a question about this machine.
The simple fact is that helicopters are complex machines, there are MANY things that can, and do go wrong. Sometimes the problems are user related, electronics related, material defect (like bad blades), sometimes a bad part slips through and ends up in a kit, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
As such, experience is the best teacher, and close attention to detail during the build process is the best way to increase the odds in your favor. Discussing the positive experiences, as well as the bad, helps others to hopefully avoid making errors. To try and derail, or deny that a problem exists, defeats the entire purpose for which this forum exists.
