Default RE: Airworld is now available in the US

This is potentially VERY disturbing. First of all, it is a fabulous design. Apparently it is not an historic design but rather a modern fantasy based on the classic Gee Bees of the thirties.
The disturbing thing is that an Italian named Mirco Pecorari said he designed it and the Airworld people STOLE the design from him. I do not see any mention of him on their site at all. If they stole the design, they are absolute scum. If Pecorari did design the thing, he is a genius.
There is a thread on the subject at: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_35...tm.htm#3599922
I guess we will have to wait and see how this comes out but I am inclined, at this point, to believe Pecorari.
