The price you get on World Models planes should be cheaper in China than at home. For reference, the Super Sport 40 is priced $100 at the Airborne Models site in the US. I've got one World Models Arf, bought it from a shop in Shanghai. If flies well and was a good price.

In answer to your other question, I learned quite a bit about China because I worked in Beijing for about 2.5 years. Traveled to many other cities to support my customer, and sometimes as a tourist. My only regret is that I was out of the hobby while I was there. If I had realized so many products were made in China, I would have brought several ARFs home every time I made the trip. Have you been able to get out much as a tourist?
