Personally, I do see the correlation to current manufacturing of RC products.It is a shame that the current trade laws and tarrifs make it cheaper to produce quality RC products overseas and ship them here as opposed to producing them domestically. I've said the same thing for years about my automobiles. Pop the hood on my F150 or my wife's minivan and most of the parts you can see are either made in Mexico or China. The day may be coming when all automobiles are assembled overseas as well.
