With proper due respect to you, your considerable knowledge, and your incisive powers of reason, I think you are being discourteous, Ron. Your superior skills don't earn you or anybody else the freedom to be disrespectful to others. From what I have read of Paul's remarks in this thread, I don't think he has said enough to earn the dumping you are proffering below. I would hope you will be more thoughtful in the future.

Two people who design and build these systems in the real world have indicated that it is either less necessary, or altogether unnecessary to deviate from a straight strike line for tonal purposes in a RC&S board. If you, not having built boards like this at all, so lacking any experience with same, know better than those of us who have, why don't you inform us as to why we don't know what we're talking about instead of weaseling around this semantic bullshit? If you're not interested in learning anything outside your marketable experience, that's your call, but someone else might be. This information has been offered in all honesty as real and verified as valid by building the damned things and trying it. If you have anything real and pertinent to contribute besides speculation and misdirection, please do. Ron N
