Making money implies doing useful work which improves the general situation, creating something that didn't exist before.  The vast majority of people "making money" are really just gathering somebody elses' money.  There is a difference between making and taking which seems to have been lost.

It was probably still made in China, just assembled in Tunisia.

Like 99% of everything in your house it was either all or parts of it made in China, exported to be constructed then exported for trade under brand names, some even in the UK, been like that for over 20 years now, you only just noticed?  {-)

Go back fifty years and look at the prices of "British" made R/C gear.

  I'd like to see a British company trying to throw together our 2.4 Giggly R/C sets for the pittance they cost here, - - - - unless you let in the foreign workers who are stealing all "our" jobs, to build them. {-)
