As the inheritor of a set of plans, you can keep them, throw them away
or sell them but you have not right to expect that whatever action you
take should imply any liability on a third party, in this case Mr.
Dyke.


I'm not saying anybody involved is right or wrong and I've never seen Mr.
Dyke's purchase agreement BUT...

The original purchaser bought the plans and the right to build one aircraft.
Without the transfer of that right the plans are just artwork and would
require no technical support. It is the right to build the aircraft that
requires the support.

Since the aircraft was never built that right hasn't been used and has been
inherited by the OP. So if part of what was paid for when the license was
granted was tech support that tech support really should transfer to the new
owner. (A fair transfer fee could be charged.)

Of course, none of this matters if the sales agreement says different. And
since any cost of litigating the matter would cost more than a fresh set of
plans it is all just a matter of us babbling on.
