Someone fails a test and it's the person that wrote the test or the specification books fault due to one(or more usually both) being badly written and too confusing.
Couldn't agree more. It's sorely lacking. How many threads have you seen involving Horizon Hobby and their new planes, heck even older ones. Granted, they might have a dud every now and then, but my god that company gets hit constantly with claims of servo failure, esc failure, transmitter failure...etc etc etc. The pilots of course expect new gear and usually get it for "free"...as if that isn't built into the cost of the item anyway. Of course it wasn't their piloting skills, or the receiver pack that they failed to check since it was charged last year.
