Status: offline 		Yes, I don't suppose owning the originals, especially not having paid for them, gives you much claim to the copyright, but if whoever owns the copyright should be willing to speak up and take a cut of any profits. Maybe the magazines own the rights to the plans they published. Maybe some are still available. I suppose the publisher of How to Design and Build Flying Models owns the rights to those in the book. Anyway, it is not obvious that there is a market. Selling the originals or copies you have seems safe, and so does posting copies free.

Status: offline 		I think BMatthews was the first to support him by bringing up that his heirs may own the copyrights.
I have built the three in the book: Pipsqueek, Push Up, and Flea Whiz. I plan to build another Push Up. Flea Whiz stands as my best and most ambitious model to date. See photos earlier in the thread.

Status: online 		Yea right: China's going to "Mass produce" Laumers prints, when you can download them at Daves website, or trade with a million others who've already scanned them. Sorry Gatordad, but I very much doubt your story about finding Laumer originals in the trash. I think Keiths daughers aren't loosing sleep over this!

It's too bad that you're cluttering a good thread with your nonsense.

Status: offline 		How did you do the landing gear? I am concerned about minimizing noseovers on rough surfaces. I followed the plans last time, but maybe I will make them more springy on the next one. I am also thinking of Frise ailerons, as Andy Lennon's book describes, instead of a rudder. Maybe the fin should be a little bigger for that?

Status: offline 		David,

Earlier in this thread you made a statement that Ambroid cement would not have the strength for the wing butt joint. Ambroid, before they changed the formula, would have held up just fine.

Hopefully the following photos and drawing will answer your question about a shock absorbing landing gear. The bottom, just in front and rear of the landing gear is 1/32" plywood. You can control the amount of spring by how many loops and size rubber band. The model in the background is one of my own designs.
