Hi Guys,

It is a free international market, so do you think you can affect that; there is no simple
easy neither fast way to do that indeed, it might take at least 10 years more.

The prices are set by the buyers and unless you educate them to not buy expensive
junk, I do not see any other way. On the other hand I do not know any meeting or
a contest where the people compete in Performance-vs-Price, is there any thing
like that ? Of course all fellows usually show how much more superior flashy thing
they have got and theer the story goes ... to more junk being sold out for people
who cannot afford even in developed world paying N x 1000 or more for a good ARF.

Question: - Why not All-Glass-fiber Automated High-quality production line is installed
anywhere for size of RC planes for the small-and-big-enough .91 engines ?
I see the guys arround building themselves those good things at home, but in
the shops is mostly balsa, which is needing the low-cost Far East labour ?

Anyway I think this discussion might be more successful if takes in focus some
most popular models, RCU has got the statistics who are those ones, and then
one can tell how he would make it cheaper and better, OK ?

Cheers,
Nick
