[NSRCA-discussion] Where made?

[Ed Miller]

I will spend whatever it takes for a domestically made anything.
If it is too expensive and must have it right away I'll look for it used. 
However, I'd prefer to wait until I have the pennies saved up to buy it new.
As soon as a composite pattern aircraft is available from a US manufacturer, 
I will move on from my US made in the USA "old school" 
fiberglass/foam/balsa/plywood aircraft.
