Don't confuse apples and oranges.. My Snap-On box is made in Canada, and I love that... my Knipex pliers are German, and I love that too.. I have a Mercedes and BMW.. both Germany. I own Leica and Nikon Optics... German and Japanese.. I have the HIGHEST admiration for German and Japanese...
I never flew the MD10, but I did fly the DC10.. The MD11 was given a bad reputation by bad pilots. Period.
But if you want more, let me start by saying that YES, it does have a smaller tail (horizontal) and as such has more inherit instability, especially at slow speed.. but the LSAS (lateral...
Do you think they can bold face lie to me on the phone like that? as a publicly traded company with a reputation to hold to? I don't buy it.. but maybe I'm being naive.

Yeah, and I appreciate that, but I just didn't want to make 2 or 3 visits to the Fedex location for amounts as small as these would generate. I tried Craigslist and got no response, so I tried this. The neighbor taking 2/3's of the items was a Godsend in that respect.

Was going to get the Bosch 4100 series until I saw it was made in China. :mad:
Anyone can recommend me a good quality, US or EU/Japan made table saw for under $800?

Got two offers now that I'm contemplating.. will decide by end of the day.
