WOW! I step away for one day and this place blows up! Lots of flag wavers in here now. Last I looked, Tower Hobbies is an American company.

Lets start with the source of the problem shall we? American consumers wouldn't be buying these cheap Chinese engines in such volume if they weren't offered by a bunch of big and small American companies. If I had to fly to China to buy a DLE 20cc engine, I wouldn't own one. And if DA was my only choice, I couldn't buy one.

I wonder how many blue nose P-51s Hangar-9 would sell if the price was $649 and the ad on their web site said "Made In The USA"? Labor costs in the USA are rediculous. If a member of the United Auto Worker union is getting paid $34 an hour to sweep floors at a GM plant, no wonder American cars are so expensive! So lets ask all the true partriots in this thread to take a 50% pay cut to help the US economy!
