Another blatant ripoff
Many of you have the Attitude, Tiny or Tiny X, GymE or Wing-E from toddsmodels.com . Well, a chinese company is now selling exact copys of Todd's Attitude. They didnt even bother to change the name! Here is the thread on the ezone started by Todd himself http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=285712&page=4
Please, if you see this plane for sale, dont buy it if you have any form of self respect. The Attitude is an awesome plane, buy the real one and build it yourself. The stolen ARF version will be heavier and poorly built, so wont fly as well. It will be a much more rewarding experience and you will be supporting a fellow American electric flyer, not a sweatshop in China.

RE: Another blatant ripoff
Man, That sucks. I was thinking of getting the Tiny-x later. If it makes Todd feel better, one of the chinese e-bay sellers lifeted most of the text on their micro helicopter page from this website http://www.draganfly.com/draganflyer4.php
They were selling a regular micro-copter, not a draganflyer, and just changed the name. I think Todd should find out who sells these ARF's, and prevent them from ever selling in the U.S.
