kit? plans?
Has anyone designed an electric that flies soo well that it would be a shame not to kit or at least sell plans? I designed a plane, that I'm going to apply for a copy right to. It flies that well!!! I was wondering if anyone has had a plane kitted? and maybe wants to share their experiance doing so? or suggestions on how to go about it?
My design will roll, loop, flip waterfall, harrier, flatspin, hover, knife edge w/o coupling, k/e loop and much more. I have yet to see it not perform a trick. and it will glide down and stop on a dime for the landing. So many people asked me for plans and where I got the plane at the field I have to copy right the design and at the very least sell the plans.
Please share with me if you know anything about how or who to contact to have a kit manufactured and any related experiance. I have searched many posts but there is very little info on the whole kitting process. Any info appreciated
Thanks,
Roger

RE: kit? plans?
What you need to do is talk to one of the smaller manufacturers, like Doug at Mountain Models, to see what he did. I think he has his kits cut by one of the many small companies that does custom laser cutting.
Getting a copyright is quite simple. AFAIK, all you have to do is indicate that the design is copyrighted on the plan, and it's copyrighted. There's no filing or approval process involved, no central copyright authority. You would file for a patent, but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything on your plane that would qualify for a patent.
