You know what ?

There is always some nit picky person who can scrutinize and pass judgment on everything including the best of things.

He built the plane to fly, its gonna fly just fine. 1/8th inch, isn't all that either.

Maybe if you looked at it this way,

He has more than likely opened himself up to far more people here, online, than he would at his club.
So far, I see only one post which doesn't give positive encouragment.
I bet the guy's down at the field would commend him on his fine efforts (even if it wasn't)
Positive encouragement for efforts made, prosper ten fold.

Go have some flying fun.
