Next time you go for the "quality stuff" look where it's made.. I think my Futaba radio and servos are all made in China.. A funny thing is that the US can't go to war with china, most of all the components (especially electronics) in there military equipment is from China.. So is your Cadillac.. Sad but true.. Blame GM they have no problem sourcing stuff out to china for their vehicles...

well you are lucky I guess , oh and have fun with the Jet , be sure to keep us posted how it goes together.I was thinking of something like that for spring , just might have to bite the bullet after Christmas and get something going for summer fun. take care

there is no way the jeti electronic components are not made in china. the board may have been assembled in Czech but the actual components had to come from china. Im shure the laws in Czech would prevent them from making the components

You don't know that at all, NOT everything comes from china ya know!

True but with all the heavy metals and nasty chemicals used in the manufacture of micro processors there are few places that can compete with china who's government seems to look the other way.

Much like buying a 92.000 dollar Cadillac Escalade & going to Princess Auto to keep it running.

I’ve never bought from there, so maybe I missed something.

Lot of energy spent in these Hobby King threads, lets fly!! (okay it is winter)

Now what do you have against Princess Auto ? LOL

While i will not say that everything HK sells is of good quaity , i have had good luck with the smaller electronics ( ESC's , motors , servos , batteries , etc. ) for my foamy stuff , that i DO fly in the winter .

Don't expect high end stuff from the dollar store buy the stuff that is highly rated and you wont be disapointed.

And international shipping sucks. I would still rather order things from China than from the states. Nothing like getting your package and then getting a bill for more than it is worth from UPS.

A big Ol' HELLYEAH for that !
