I don't really expect unbiased reviews from any mag but that was way over the top. As long as the magazine made it clear that the writer wasn't an unbiased source, and it sounds like they did (I don't generally read CP so I don't know), I don't see a problem from an ethical standpoint. I do think that a review by somebody else would have been of more use to their readers. In all fairness to Budd, he was singing the praises of the Bearhawk long before he became involved financially with it. The situation is not unlike that of the guy who liked the electric razor so much that he bought the company. Also, on the email list he has been extremely generous of his time in answering questions from plans builders who haven't bought a thing from him as well as the kit builders. ================================================== == Del Rawlins-- Unofficial Bearhawk FAQ website: http://www.rawlinsbrothers.org/bhfaq/ Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply |
