Not sure either where the manufacture is but I understand they have a nice five star hotel there called the "Hanoi Hilton". I here they treat you real nice and have wonderful buffets! If you happen to stay there ask for the best hostess around. Her name is Jane Fonda. You can usually find her around the perimeter of Hanoi sitting on anti-aircraft guns posing for pictures. She's a REAL nice lady. I hear she lives part time in the United States but she has been known to go to places like Vietnam just to put down her own country. She's a real FINE person! But just to keep this RC related I would love to send her up to you in Canada RVD so you can use her for a little target practice. Sorry to be so sarcastic but people still don't forget after 30 years!
