Apparently the Savannah is a direct copy of the 701:

Is it legal in the US, to sell kits built from somebody else's
(copyrighted) plans, without permission? On reflection, I can't think
of a reason why it wouldn't be, but I can see where the original
designer would be irritated.


No. The kit is a copy, in a tangible medium, of the
original.

Small changes may be sufficient to eliminate infringement--
at least that is the case for furniture or cookbook recipes.

For a better discussion you can post your question to
misc.legal.moderated.
