Do you have some inside knowledge unavailable to us mere mortals? Or are you merely leaping to some kind of unfounded, baseless conclusions?

I read your comments with interest. I was considering trying to get one for a project I am involved in. Is it as bad as you say and what is the cost of a small model? Hi Martin.

These hubs will leak. The hubs are built, quality be damned, and shipped with completely nonconforming material.
