I think a lot of people have the impression that there is a different factory for each ARF brand. I do not think that is true. I think a handful of companies make nearly all of the ARFs. Factory A may build Great Planes Escapades one week and BH/Graupner P-47s the next. I also believe they are built to a price point. A higher price point (at the factory) might buy better materials and/or better quality control.

Most of the "stuff" that came in the box with my SIG Four Star 60 ARF (bought a few years ago) was in a bag labeled "World Models" so I guess the ARF factory buys it in quantity and boxes it up with whatever brand ARF they are building that day.
