I think the same can be said for most clothing and shoes sold today among many other things people buy these days.

Yep, clothing and shoe manufacturing is frightening when you see the factories. It is inescapable. Heck, what about a lot of the produce collecting? It goes on to almost everything...except luxury items, maybe.

Bollocks ! No doubt u have proof ? Quality wise there up near the top of the barrel . Anyway 9yr olds in a sweatshop would be upper middle management . Cheers the pope

Hi Pope, I have been eyeing the Taranis for some time. I even held the Horus in my hands at the Toledo show. Quite a setup, but maybe more than I will ever need? The Taranis could be in my future, but I still have some models with FM receivers, so I have to hold on to my Futaba 9C a bit longer.

Hi there Tim . what did you think of the Horus ? I dont think it was the final production version although its a bit hard to see from here in Aus . I read where the screen will be better . The boats coming along , having BIG issues with the finishing . Was sold some pigment to mix in withe resin but its turned to poop . Im past it at this stage so with give it a clear coat and I will be done . I dont care what it looks like anymore as long as it floats . If I make anymore they will be just clear coat . Cheers the pope

I'll respond to the FrSky question. The boat stuff is for Tim. I get seasick just looking at waves from the shore!!!

I didn't look very deep into the Horus, lots of people around. But it felt very robust and high end. The screen was vast. It might have been a prototype, but they had a few of them on the counter. Even the Taranis is a lot of radio for me though. I can be satisfied if FrSky did an 8 or 9 channel cheapie!!

I was just wondering if the OP ever found a place that sells TTiger parts? Kind of wonder in case I ever need any. It is nice to know the kids in China are not stuck in the house playing video games, and building models and radios. Too bad they don't get out to play with them.

yeah, I had to do a hack job on the carb of one of my TT 75FS engines because I can't get parts for it. JB Weld to fix a crack and a servo arm as a throttle arm. I hope it holds up!!

It'll probably outlast the engine. That JB Weld is good stuff!
