Default RE: "Voodoo" from Somewhere

Did you happen to notice his shipping label? I'm trying to figure out if he's connected to the Raiden people. They cancelled their ebay id's late last year, but then morphed into a new one this year.

From what I've noticed of mkland's sales, all of his stuff comes from yongkang. It appears that the yongkang people are either copying other companies stuff, or that they make planes for other vendors, such as GP, but are then selling some on the side. Either practice is quite common for Chinese companies. I got a P-51 that I tracked down to them. The size and shape are identical to my WM P-51. The difference is in the fit and finish. It's obvious that they copied the WM design and that the 2 planes were not made by the same people. Everything about the yongkang plane says they built it as quickly, and cheaply, as possible.
