I believe there are two things you can say about those "East European Worker Bee" products....
-- The wings are really strong -- The wings are dimensionally accurate (and they probably stay that way with changes in temperature and humidity) I don't think there's a "swipe of the sandpaper" involved anywhere in their construction, its all molded. So I'd believe anything they'd say about their airfoils but I'd be skeptical about anything using traditional built-up or foam and tape construction. I've always been impressed by this 'organic' construction (what Gordy calls it), I think its raised the bar noticeably, but at the same time I'm a bit disappointed that its not something I could do myself. (I think its possible to make molded wings at home but its a really tedious and exacting process.) (I tend to take the "worker bee" thing with a pinch of salt -- that stuff's got more of a "displaced Ukrainian aerospace engineer who's discovered how to earn hard currency" ring about it.)
