No 

As far as I know, all competitive F3J models are made in Europe.
Big three are probably:
Xplorer - Nan models in Bulgaria
Supra/Maxa by Vladimir models in Ukraine
Pike by Samba models in Czech republic

There are others as well, including one with local distribution:
Simitri - contact Alex at rcaerohobbycanada

Alex is a member of my club, COGG. Pretty sure Simitri is made in Ukraine. Nice model, and Alex is easy to deal with.

F5J is where most of the action is these days. Very popular model for that is the Ultima 2 by Vortex. I think they are in Slovenia

I have 4M Xplorer 3, amazing F3J models. Light but incredibly strong. Not sure it is even possible to fold one on the launch.
If you have never seen a two man F3J hand tow it is hard to understand how violent it is.
You can also pound it onto the ground hitting the spot on landing without fear of breaking the fuse.

My brother has an Ultima 2 F5J, without the launch loads they don't have to be so strong. Incredibly light model for its size.
