Default RE: Copywrites, Patents, Rights???

Dave,

Suppose I made significant structural design modifications to a 20+ year old design but otherwise kept the planforms, moments and airfoils the same, would I:

1) Hold copyright on those "percentage deviation" design changes?

2) Assuming I shared those design alterations in a "non-copyable" format without the so called PTO paperwork, would someone be copyright infringing if they took my design alterations and produced a kit of it?

3) Would that same kitter be infringing on my copyright, the original designers or both?

Just opening up the questions for discussion in a non-legal environment.

David
