Well.... "made" is different than "designed", Futaba, JR, Sanwa/Airtronics, KO propo, are all Japanese companies, and their products are "designed" in Japan, but im sure some are "made" in taiwan or malaysia or wherever, because of labor costs.
Moreover, who in the US, or anyone else for that matter, dosent know that alot of things are not made in the US???? you must be talking about some pretty stupid people.
I think what Squizzy was talking about was, that in Aussi land they might get some of the Taiwanese or Malaysian manufactured parts as opposed to the higher quality original Japanese manufactured parts, as we do in the US. Who knows if that is true, but the point is, Japanese manufactured stuff is higher quality for the most part, than Taiwanese or Malaysian. I think some of you missed that point.
