Exactly. Ihave noticed people want the airplane for the lowest cost possible. Unfortunately labor, materials, equipment, energy, etc. cost money, regardless of the country something is beign produced in. There may be some differences in those prices of course but some level of cost is still there. If we demand ultra-cheap ARF's then there will be some things that are scarificed.

Still, I am amazed at the quality we do get. When you get into the more expensive ARF's they are down-right impressive for the money.
