Model Forum / General / Rockets / March 2006Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery......
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or flat ripoff you decide... Estes new kit..... http://www.calpolydbf.com/images/EST2145.jpg Our Lil Johnny http://www.newtons3rdrocketry.com/littlejohnnyrocket2.jpg > Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or flat ripoff you > decide... [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://www.newtons3rdrocketry.com/littlejohnnyrocket2.jpg Except for the TP it's a dead ringer......too bad they don't make a motor the thing will fly on worth a damn. Maybe they will be selling repackaged AT motors as their own too. What a bunch of dirtbags. Chuck That is a really crappy thing to do. What a bunch of turds. > Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or flat ripoff you > decide... [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://www.newtons3rdrocketry.com/littlejohnnyrocket2.jpg What was the inspiration for your kit? Was it the full scale version from LDRS a few years ago? Could they have been inspired by that instead of yours? I'm asking that in sincerity. When I first saw the Estes announcement, my first thought was of the one at LDRS. Doug I'd contact a lawyer.....pronto. If the situation were reversed, they'd be all over you. Mike Fisher Binder Design http://binderdesign.com Our inspiration preceeded Ky's attempt at flying the full scale one by at least a year, got the idea while waiting for the facilities at XPRS... I am not the kind of guy that runs whining to a lawyer so I just take it as it is and will move on, but it just SEEMED kinda a slimey thing to do... OH well............... > I'd contact a lawyer.....pronto.

If nothing else but to point out that YOU had the design first. Otherwise you may get a call from THEIR lawyer telling you to stop copying them. Seriously. You need to protect your rights even if you're not looking for damages. > Our inspiration preceeded Ky's attempt at flying the full scale one by > at least a year, got the idea while waiting for the facilities at > XPRS...

Did'nt that happen with the Fat Boy ? > I'd contact a lawyer.....pronto. If the situation were reversed, > they'd be all over you. Didn't someone try to sue Estes over the Fat Boy Rocket ? > Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or flat ripoff you > decide...
