Hansen is another one, the guy makes memory boards for Futaba radios, switches that plug directly into the Rx for lights or cameras and other neat little electronic goodies.

This is a very cool post Muroc1
ZT is a manufacturing company that is also from the USA, but we do not make plane stuff, yet. I have been reading some of the replies on here and let me tell you from what i see. China is cheaper, this is true, BUT think about paying for the shipping, international fees, packaging, ets. Plus, half of the products that comes back is done incorrect or not to the size! Basically it is too much to deal with... send the product back and fort to get it done correctly. Actually idk if any of you know that 80% of the mfg companies in China and Japan use "brother" CNC`s which are wicked fast!!! We also have them here in the US and believe me we are already out machining most of CHINA! booya

Just wanted to put my to sense in for what it is worth

Stay pOsItIvE

Geez
I forgot a couple I'm looking to purchase from when tax time rolls around

Fun Aero makes some nice WWI planes and a 60 size Staudacher that will compete for my tax return dollars
[link=http://www.funaero.com]FunAero[/link]

also ARD models that makes the Stringray, like a Shrike, again competing for my tac return dollars
[link=http://www.ardmodels.com]ARD models[/link]

and the final contender is an Andrew Aeromaster Biplane Lazer-Works offers a short kit

I didn't see Century Jet Models. www.centuryjet.com. Just started a build on a CJM F-100D I bought many years ago. Nice glass work, and gets you into an F-100 at a way more affordable price than the BVM F-100D. Not as scale, but at a distance can look very similar with the right modifications.

Thanks for the great additions fellas. I'll post them up as soon as I get the chance. Great job. I still find it amazing that there are so many companies int he US that still produce RC products. Very cool indeed.

Do you think we got them all now?

Hi Frank
You are really doing a great job.
I usually add many links to my favorites and every time I think, now fix. But the number keeps growing and growing.
When looking for something, I cant find it.
Thank you
