ORIGINAL: ThunderbirdJunkie

ThunderbirdJunkie would be fine with a decent RC price increase if it was made here, employing people here.
that would be nice. but the big companies are all about profit.
my father used to work for solon MFG, which made popsicle stick among other things.
but now they can cut wood in the USA...ship it to china...turn the wood into popsicle sticks and ship them back to the USA for less than it cost to make the stick here!
in short, my dad is now a plant manager for mossberg. kinda cool since they let him try out new models!
