Sadly, I agree with both Tim and Martin - judging people's work is pretty risky, especially when they don't know it's coming - but we do make it really hard for casual users to find out aircraft that suit their needs. A thick-skin is a requirement for publishing any creative work into the world, I'd say - Torsten's comments aren't meant to be critical (as he said), but I'd hate to do anything which means people keep aircraft 'secret' until they are 'finished' - we already know that leads to many bad results. Development needs to happen in the open - ideally without confusing end-users in the process, though.
