ORIGINAL: A 4 liter V8 eater

Composite ARF's are beautiful planes, but now that I know thay are made in china and are way less labor intensive than wood planes I am a loss as to why they are so g-d expensive.

I guess the High-Prices we pay for the other RC models on the market. Immagine if Tower Hobbies or more exactly Hobbico
drops in the Shops tomorrow the prices of the ARF with 50% down to the price the average Shop-keeper pay to the Distributor,
then Composite ARF will start droping the prices very nicely too. Still now Price goes pretty well releated to Quality indeed.

Only hope I see in Indo-China getting faster over the RC Market and then the current "balsa junk" from the shops
will dissapear or get to its real price of some 10x less than now.

Maybe it is better to weight couple years prior buying your next ARF ...
