There have been several threads with comments like these (not all of them started about your products) - here is just one example - http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111236
I think RDRP felt the same when their brass rear mounts for the DEX210 were copied after they showed them 6 months before anyone else, but as I keep saying that is life, copying will always be there
Some great examples...
MIP CVD's - copied now by almost everyone
Schumacher Mini Spike - copied more than once
Brass front bulkheads by GHEA - now everyone makes them
and with all respect - all recent cars from Ansmann/Team C are a "copy" of somthing before them |
Actually There was nothing wrong with the weight, but it's a good example as both you and Tony trashed the mounts even before they where produced. The ali ones where introduced after I found a material I was happy with and also to ease manufacture.
Most other products I produce are heavier versions of the original part. Other than the rear weight where I removed threads for ease of build and removed angles to add a little extra weight. Still don't think anyone else does that?
