Maybe so. Sometimes "hits" are closer to home than folks think. I've seen those things fail three ways - bottom "snap" falls off (one petal breaks off on the metal or just re-use & wear on the Nylon), screws come loose (no Loc-Tite) and screws STRIP (see also screws come loose).

I'm not risking $500 (or more) on a 99ยข lazy-man's solution when a "L" bend and Nylon clip or "Z" bend never fails. I don't even use them in my .40 size ARF's. They are the R/C equivalent of driving on a temporary spare tire.
