RE: Trust, but verify, Chinese Manufactured ARF's.
Yes, I can see you point now.
Does that mean that no one can afford an F4 (or any other high end jet) of adequate quality
(meaning non-Chinese made) to make it safe & reliable?
Australia, along with most western countries like the US, has got used to paying Chinese prices.
Anything made here now looks to be to expensive. The trouble is western manufacturers are
now cutting corners in the fruitless attempt to compete with what amounts to what we consider
slave labour rates of pay & materials subsidised by their government.
It really is a race to the bottom.
Like you point out I can't afford the top quality jets like BVM (I do, however, have one I bought
unfinished for a bargain price) and I'm not prepared to risk the Chinese jets, pretty on the outside,
pretty awful on the inside, so I'm doomed to building my own or quality kits. - John.
