ORIGINAL: LANNYBOB

what exactly is going on here, what does this mean for us as flyers? im lost
Well LANNYBOB, it means for most kit makers that they will stop producing the kits instead of paying almost half in royalties. OR, they will mark their kits up to outlanding prices just so they can sell them to cover the royalties.

I don't have a problem if they (the company in question) paid for the r&d and it's their design (automakers fall into this catagory, meaning anyone can go and buy one), but if it's TAXPAYER dollars that paid for it (because it's designed specifically for the govt, meaning joe blow the taxpayer can't go out and buy one), then I don't like it one bit.
