What they SHOULD be saying is ASSEMBLED in the usa made from globaly sourced components..I do beleive novak lost a lawsuit in california over that very statement..as to just HOW globally sourced the components are that is for novak to know and us to speculate upon.I live in Michigan, and we can tell you from the decline in our statewide economy that American owned, and assembled is much different than american MADE all together..I beleive the term with in the industry for out sourcing is "farming out"..A good example of "farming out" and its effect on the RC industry would be Associated.Associated was an american made, american owned company..They started outsourcing their parts and now a company that they outsourced a majority of their components to in the past actually OWNS them now..Thunder Tiger.
