Default RE: Jetjoe and Regal Strikes!

Hi
Bottom line is that these turbines take alot of money to develop and the people who develop them want to get their money back and make a profit to stay in business and keep food on the table..
If company A then steals company B's design thereby not having to invest in the R & D and able to undercut company B then Company B gets understandably mad about it.
In this case Company A not only stole the design they made a pretty bad job of copying it and rapidly washed their hands of it advising their customers to seek help from Company B to fix their mess.

So why are Jet Joe owners suprised when Company B, in this case Gasper gets annoyed as he isnt making money to keep HIS business going but JJ owners are coming to him for help, deflecting him from helping his real customers.

I am sorry for all the Jet Joe owners who are caught in the middle if all this and it can understand the desire to go for the apparent cheaper option as it took me sometime to get the money together for my first turbnine but I have learned one thing in modelling and it equally applies to turbine ownership and life in general. You get for what you pay for. Hence I buy Wren and only Wren.
