Actually, the OP specifically stated that Mr. Dyke specifically stated
that *had the airplane construction been started,* he would offer tech
support to the new owner, but since construction had *not* been started,
he wouldn't. This policy seems exactly contrary to your logic here,
FMPOV. The plans and the technical support that ostensibly accompanies
them have both been paid for, and neither have been used. Ann Landers
might have a different view, as you obviously do too, but my morality
still says they ought to be transferable to another party.
