Has anyone noticed that the first ARF trainers back in the late 80's were REALLY expensive? Nearly $400.00 in 1980's money, for a .40 sized trainer?? The reason was because they were built here in the U.S. We all know that labor costs in China are well below that of the U.S. The compettion between these manufacturers is insane. They need to keep the prices down to stay competetive with eachother, so they cut costs where ever they can. It's my opinion that they will continue to cut costs until they run themselves out of business. It's only a matter of time until someone gets killed due to a cost savings (Does Toyota's throttle problem ring any bells?)
