I think you'll find that the experience level of the purchaser has a lot to do with the original post here.

Moving up to large scale and gas aircraft requires that the builder/operator has a solid and basic understanding of the building techniques and flight principles involved with larger aircraft. Someone who may have most, or all, of there experience with smaller glow powered aircraft will usually have some trouble comprehending some of the products and their uses in larger aircraft. The methods of assembly and the equipment used require more attention to detail that smaller aircraft.

In any case, I agree that Wild Hare should have been contacted first, and privately. It would have saved the author of the post quite a bit of embarrasement.

Just my opinion.
