I can see where you are coming from, but i wouldn't say most of the problems. There have been quite a few pilot/builders errors causing failures too and you can't expect the factory to take responsibility for someone old boy'ing it in.
As for building, you would expect anyone putting a jet together to have learnt through years of modelling the way they like to do things, so it's not guessing, but using their years of experience to judge how they think it should be. To be able to decide where a servo should be may need a basic understanding of forces a model goes through in flight, but if someone hasn't got a basic understanding of the principles of flight, then should they be flying a jet or indeed any model in the first place?
lol Alessandro, i'm still learning all the time mate, it never stops and i can get it wrong
Yes, I agree with you, but the more idiot proof you make the kit, the better. My post was merely to comment that is odd for an ARF not to make provision for servos. On my first Viper build I placed the sevos in the fuz, mainly because I had no need to remove the rudder or stabs.
I recently bought another & will start the build soon. I really like the large Viper. It flys very well & lands easily. I lost my first one when it hit some HT power lines.
