As an American, I like to buy American goods when I can, but the truth is that most goods, but not all are made in countries other than the U.S. Does this mean that all these products made elsewhere in the world are all junk? Certainly Not in my opinion. This Forum was not created for the purpose to allow one country to bash another countries products. That is Politics in my opinion and this is not the place for it. Lets just keep our comments aimed towards the manufactures themselves regardless of what country they operate from. The majority of products made for the R/C Hobby are NOT made in America. While I like to buy American products because I am an American, I have purchased many things that were made overseas that were made very good. You can't assume that just because you bought one thing bad that was made in TimBucTo, that all things made in TimBucTo are made bad. Lets leave the stereotypes at the door, and concentrate on passing on valuable information regarding ARF's and there Manufactures regardless of where they are made or which country they reside.Saying that ALL products made from a certain Country are bad, is not a fair statement at all.
