As I see it there is no conflicts regarding copying. They are not the same. This seems to be the opinion across the board here. A design patent would not even be worth the trouble because any change would eb different. The plane, in general, cannot be made a utitlity patent for protection because prior art would negate it. As for the name, there is no claim that can be had as the name was never marked even with a tm. (I looked on the instructions) As with healthly competition, both must surge ahead to keep on the forefront of flying and marketing. Good Luck to them both.
