Wow!

You really put up a video of a place that uses child labor to make your products?

[usarmyfl1]

LOL it is a sweat shop! That plane costs .50 cents to make and our U.S. bortheren charge us $100 bucks for it.

Love it!!! Keep my planes cheap baby!

Just a reminder of what drives products at the cheap prices we pay.

Child Labor, lack of emission requirements, burning wood and coal to fuel a boiler,etc.

We save, but their communities pay a bigger price in the long run.

@notxess66 you know what dude, at least these kids have some money, it was this or absolutely NOTHING.

Do you even think before you speak? Go there and take away this kid from his "job", then what? Let him rot on the streets with zero cash?

@usarmyfl1 yea injection molding is one of the cheapest manufacturing processes after the initial equipment investment.

Friends don't let friends fly plastic planes :) Long live Balsa

For the far east those conditions are actually not too bad. They should have respiratory protection though. INVEST IN YOUR WORKERS HOBBYKING!

[pinzgauernorcal]

@Doamino41 You can sand and shape polystyrene foam. Mold-less composite construction. Rutan style.

HHHmmmm child labor you say? He just looks small, he's probably 18 and right for the job because he has to fit into tight spaces, westerners just look more mature than Asians at that age.
