What none of the reviews make clear is the absolutely bloody awful placement of the sprue gates on the upper rear hull. There are three of them. There is also an overhang and two moulded protrusions on the back plate.
So clean up is a real PITA! You cannot use a sanding stick across the back.

I don't know how hard it is to design a mold. But I share your frustration. 'Let's add a pilot. Shall we put the sprue gates on his head or the invisible feet?' 9 out of 10 times it's the head. But why??

I've made moulds for resin casting... the answer to that is the flow of the plastic. It's more work to get the plastic to flow into the feet first. I had the same idea and ended up with a lot of headless pilots...
