This may be true. I have a small amount of experience with some chinese products in the form of Orion Telescopes as I'm into astronomy as a hobby. Some of the chinese produced optic's are good and some of the simpler mechanical aspects of the scopes are good too. But I've noticed that the more complex and critical mechanical parts seem to leave much to be desired.

I'm working on refurbuishing a fairly large scope for my wife right now and I hope that the optic's are as good as I've heard them claimed to be. So far I'm not too happy though I'll admit more work must be done on collimation. The mechanical components for the mount and drives give me cause for concern. I've ordered new ones which I hope will be superior to the originals.

It's difficult to make a meaningful comparison in the realm of tools for example as non chinese power tools are almost impossible to come buy, unless you find a few from Mexico or Malaysia. And chinese metalurgy of such things as drill bits and screws etc it unadulterated garbage as far as I'm concerned. I have never in my life eperienced such a staggeringly high failure rate as from this crud.

One sincerely hopes that they reserve better quality stuff for things like this plane or it'll be a death trap from the get go.
