If some one wants a set of VP2 plans on CD, I'll make one up and send it
to you for the cost of priority mail shipping.


With that said, back to the humor and zoom bashing. ;o)


Did Mr Evans relinquish his copyrights and release the plans into the
public domain?


I think Mr. Evans was concerned with the less than adequate
performance of the VP-2 and quit selling the plans to avoid liability.


That is also my understanding, which is why I suppose it is
unlikely that he would relinquish his rights or authorize others
to publish them.

Courts can order that infringing copies be destroyed. How
closely you would have to follow the plans to infringe on them
I don't know. It'd be a bummer to watch the sheriff's deputies
feed your airplane into a wood chipper.

More to the point, the inventor doesn't want people to build
them. That is probably worth noting.
