<DIV><SPAN class=093181518-10012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>That's
a perfectly reasonable answer, as I see it. If there is to be a domestic

market.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Dean,</P>
<P>I don't like to get into discussions of buy American vs. Foreign. I
generally evaluate the best bang for the buck provided the quality meets my
needs. I am willing, and usuall do pay a premium for quality,
service and reliability. For RC pattern, I have always done this
when I buy my high end radios, engines and now electric motors. We spend
a lot of $ to support our pattern habit. I'll gladly put domestic
products in the mix when they stand up to the competition.</P>

<DIV>As I recall, the Honda Goldwing and Nissan Titan are the "most
American-Made" motorcycle and truck on the market, respectively.
Even most of the Honda cars and trucks are designed, fabricated, and
assembled in the USA. The Honda Civic Sedan and Ridgeline even
took top honors at the Detroit Auto Show this past weekend. They
are very high quality, and built in America. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unfortunately, quality is expensive and the old adage "buy cheap
buy twice" applies. I hope the US economy can move back toward the
quality end of the spectrum and away from the "$34.99 Wal-Mart DVD
Player Special" mindset, before NONE of us can afford the quality
products... <BR><BR> </DIV>

<DIV>I doubt if there is a consumer product of any value that is
truly "American Made". GM may have assembly plants in the
US, but I'd wager that half the content (parts) come from
china, mexico and india. </DIV>
