So where in Vietnam is Seagull made??
Just a thought for today......I was doing some research o Seagull Models and there seems to be no company with that name in Vietnam. Does it trade under Seagull models and this brand is owned by a parent company called, for example, Foo Chi Indutries??
I hope you get my point. Any thoughts????????????

They are near Ho Chin Minh city. Unfortunately the owner, Phat Nuyhen, passed away last year and all day to day operations are being handled by his brother and owner of Phoenix Models, Loc.

Interesting info.... Does anyone know how Black Horse Models fits into the equation? Are they also a sister company to Seagull & Phoenix?

Many thanks for all thr feedback. It is just nice to know where all the hard earned money goes into building and production of our much loved ARF's goes. If they show how the factory builds them and the working conditions it might be a bit of a good public relations excercise. I am sure there was pictures on RCU somewhere of the production facilities of an ARF manufacturer....can't remember where though.
I have had/got a Seagull Spacewalker, great flier . Dual Ace, great flier
Blackhorse, 62" Chipmunk, great flier
Great Planes, Venus 40,great flier. AT6 Texan, a real dog. Super Sportster, great flier
So you do the research check the write-ups....make your choice spend your money. If you want a bad flier go and buy one!

Brilliant feedback........RCU members are brilliant again
makes you think.......could I work like that all day?? the answer is NO. Top people to turn out such excellent value products 24/7. Give your ARF the respect it deserves I think.

Totally agree the people in factories building our cheap but so fantastically good value for money kits are doing it hard to keep us happy.Don't know how i feel about that sometimes except to say i like flying them.
