ORIGINAL:
The Airworld USA and Airworld Germany site both strongly imply that the R-3 was a historic design, "discovered" by Horst and made into a scale model.
John Cristensen, as a spokesperson for Airworld, I hope that you will make an effort to confirm that the R-3 is a SCALE design. If it is to be used in Scale events, then it must be a model of a full scale aircraft. Therefore I feel that the ball is in your court. The obligation is yours.
I don't care about the legality of it, or who stole what.
You owe it to your potential customers to find out -
Is the Gee Bee R-3 a scale aircraft ?
