It is not made of light weight materials, it has no "locking feature",
and if I remember correctly one even has to modify it. "Piece of junk"
is maybe exaggarated but at the time of classification I was
frustrated how much I spent on kit-parts that I never used because of
the inferior quality or suitability for something that was going to be
a "once-in-a-lifetime" project of proud. And I never thought it would
be in the Aircrafspruce catalog but assumed it was indeed a backyard
water faucet.
