RE: O.S. Engines now made in China
China can build good quality products just as the US can build cheap products. The only problem is when greed gets in the middle. There is nothing worst than a low quality product at a high quality price. People paying for a product they could get a half the cost, do it because they expect flawless performance or excellent customer support. When you get neither you are screwed.

RE: Parkzone T-28 to glow?
What is interesting about glow fuel + foam planes is that Cox used to sell ARF foam planes with their 0.49 engines in them back in the lates 80s, early 90s. They were two channel (rudder/elevator) I don't remember if Cox fuel had Nitromethane or not. Maybe using FAI or low Nitro fuel would be the answer.

RE: ARF's
I am grateful for the availability of wood made ARF planes. Of course, It is probably better to build a plane from scratch but I would probably not be in the hobby right now due to lack of time if ARFs were not available. I will take a laser cut balsa/ply ARF plane over a foam plane any time any day. I don't have anything against foam planes, in fact I own many of them. It is just that the wood ones feel more like a hobby and less like a toy.
