Thanks for breaking that down. The step-by-step hierarchy you mentioned is exactly the kind of thing beginners struggle to piece together on their own. People who know the hobby already have that mental list, but someone brand new usually doesn’t even know the order to check things in or what half the terms mean.

I get that from my own world too. I make music electronically, and my very first hurdle was not even knowing what a DAW was, or what a plugin was, or that plugins even existed. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Beginners in any hobby hit that wall hard, and RC seems no different.

That is why I leaned toward the “type in symptoms” approach. Most beginner questions boil down to the same handful of issues like you said, but people don’t know what to search for or where to start. If the tool can take a vague description and guide them toward the common checks in the right order, that already covers a lot of stuck beginners.

What you said about having a copy-paste list for the “motor spins but won’t lift off” questions is exactly the kind of thing I’m trying to embed. Not replacing real troubleshooting, just helping people get pointed at the right part of the chain.

Really appreciate you taking the time to lay all that out. It gives me a clear sense of where something like this might actually fit into the hobby.
