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.
You're right on SilverSurfer... that's me. This is my first giant scale ARF, and the hardware is quite new to me.
Hay, NEO, your 100% right. That is what RCU is for.
It's just that the way we present something that is questionable. Lighten up.
H.Wayne... point well taken. I guess I was having a bad day and was getting frustrated. Sorry to everyone for getting prematurely shook up. I'll try to breathe deep and count to 10 next time before I post. 
Hardware is the one thing about this Hobby that I dislike the most. I like gluing wood, painting, detailing and of course, flying... but the mechanical stuff drives me crazy. I have the patience to lay down 10,000 rivets on a scale warbird, but zero patience for figuring out the mechanical part [
