Use to work for Model engines who was the Australian importer of seagull,and I must say that the pc9 is one of the best flying rc aircraft.. use to fly like it was on rails. gr8 job seagull
I have emailed Seagull models since I have Razzle about the poor leak standard of balsa used. Most of the parts are marked with the number 25000507. There reply was this is not there model or kit
I noticed. Not unusual, many products are made by one company and branded with another company's' name on it. For example, Browning gun safes are manufactured by American Security and others, as well as putting their own name on them. Howa Machinery in Japan makes and brands their own rifles, model 1500's, and makes the same exact rifle under the Weatherby's name...as well as for other firearms companies. I'm curious now as to what models Seagull makes for Eflite. .
Great angle! I was thinking about the same while I was watching the general condition for the people working here. And what about all those chemical fumes, and warm air, and dust, and more than 8 hour journey? Great comment.
how sad, could easily and cost efficiently be "made in usa", and benefit our country's economy. i say these things because im a mechanical engineer, machinist, and have been building models since i was 8 or 9
Jesse Bartsch what's sad about it at least these people have a job and can support there family. The world don't revolve and the U.S you guys can't even make a decent car.
Jesse Bartsch hey machinist boy.no freakin way I cant be made as inexpensively in usa those people only make a pittance compared to us look at attention to detail ...we would lose interest in work and fuck it up..I grew up in america ...worked in a few factories ..even got used like an animal 16 hour days 7 days a week ...because I had a family to support I took it ...my attention to detail was always top notch...but those around me no famjly no attention span went home at 8 hr.days and I soldiered on ...I know whereof I speak ...especially those delicate airframes beautiful work ..I admire seagul products ...
1. You would have to build all new dies and automate the parts process. 2. Basic assembly by robot hands. 3. Module assembly with exact tolerances. 4. Touchy/Feelie QC 5. Human inspection of X number in Y batches. All that doesn't come cheap and when a model gets retired... time to rebuild Steps 1 through 4.
