RE: Morris Hobbies Turbine Jet ARF?
Bart,
The guys at Morris don't know that the jet is a copy of Mick Reeves' Super Reaper. They were approached by the factory to buy a product and they felt there was a market for a cheap ARF jet. So far from what they received, there seems to be a good market for this $439 dollar jet. And the factory obviously doesn't care they copied someone else design, they are just in it to make a profit. I was even told that a few turbine manufacturers were trying to get them to offer a combo deal with one of their turbines.
Unless someone is familar with the Super Reaper already, they will not recognize that it is a copy. It's all about profit and the moral issue.....do I buy an original at a higher price or a copy at a cheaper price.
