[8D]I've assembled (don't want to get flamed by the people that go nuts when you use the word built in conjunction with ARFs) several Chinese ARFs and one Vietnamese ARF. Although I've had some problems if I've take care I've ended up with a good product that has flown well and lasted long enough if I avoided vertical landings. I think that the reason they sell well is they provided adaquate value. Places like RCU allow modelers to be alerted to many of the poor brands and this exchange of information helps improve the marketplace. I know that there are several brands I avoid, but I think that not all Asian ARFs are bad news. Building in the USA does not automatically cure the problems if you remember the early Lanier ARFs.
