Earlier today I wrote:
"A few years ago Jeannette announced that plans were no longer
available, and that no one had permission to reproduce or sell them."
My view of this is that Jeannette isn't concerned with whether or not
she's profiting from plans sales, but rather it's the LIABILITY
associated with selling experimental aircraft plans. It's worth noting
that her daughter is an attorney, so it would probably cost her nothing
to file suit against somebody for selling plans that Rand Robinson
originated. I've talked to her about this, and her reason for no longer
selling plans is the liability, not the income associated with selling
the plans. So I think her concern is that every set of plans out there
"in the wild" is a potential lawsuit waiting to happen.
So this is just a great reason to refine the design for modern size
human beings, newer composite technology, alternative construction
techniques, and larger engines, while making plans freely available for
download, like FreeBird. We're not taking money out of anybody's
pocket, either way you look at it, and nobody is profiting from the
effort.....
