Ricardo - sorry for not being diplomatical in my approach but I fume when you read such politically fuel remarks esp. when I come from Asia, btw your JRs are being manufactured in Malaysia.

Kangaroo - its all the manufacturers fault, people like Hangar 9/Great Planes etc if a model is not of a certain quality. They come to the Far East and Asia for cheap labour but the 'blue prints', quality control and manufacturing process is in the hands of the so called American company.

glowplug - only plane I can say to stay away from are your VMARs ... I cannot believe the wood they use, its like industrial ply, what you use for packing material/boxes. Seagull is not that great but it ain't that bad.
