| It is daft I agree Barry, I know some companies will happily hand over drawings when you explain what purpose you require them for...it is a shame more manufacturers cannot be like this.
A good case in point on what you have said earlier though is on that link you posted for the Jet Videos.....under the Fasten your seatbelts thread....One of those jets on there is a Eurofighter..Ok not an exactly new design but it is still new that it is not even in service with the RAF Yet and here we have a very nice model of it flying around showing off it's excellent capabilties to the world........Surely that is a better way for the manufacturers to showcase their machines and improve sales..??
You may remember my recent pic of the F-111 that I posted up recently...the sneaky one I took at RAF Valley.....At the time I was told the Amercians were touchy about their aircraft being photographed, yet I have here an Issue of Radio Modeller Magazine dated September 1997...dated before I took my Photo, and yet in that Magazine is a full free set of plans for a PSS Soarer version of that very aircraft.
Regards..........Mark.
