Default RE: WHAT YEAR WILL AMA NO LONGER EXIST??

I was talking about this industry. You would be greatly surprised for what Great Planes pays for a UCANDO 3D in China. Very surprised. China is making it's money on volume, competition and cheap labor. All of the markup on hobby products is done right here in the states. Of course these guys have to spend a heck of a lot of money on advertising to resell the products ... but the Chinese don't have a lot of profit in their products, just volume. If they did have high costs, you could just walk over to the factory just next door.
