| Re: How Hard is it?
I have spent a large ammount of monies producing a very detailed workshop manual to help the RF builders. There is a complete set of aluminium panel drawings with a shaddow of our chassis under these drawings. This would make it quiet easy for someone to copy my chassis especially with the computer software that is available today. Very detailed photographs and drawings show all other build areas and again this I have chosen to keep to my customers ONLY.
I have had numerous requests for chassis drawings for people and if our manual was in the general domain I am sure it would be being copied.
I will and have helped many people to view the manual to check if it is as I say it is and as you so correctly said if they are about to spend many thousands of their hard earned cash than the inconvenience is in my opinion worth it.
As a final point, the less others can copy my work and assuming it is at least good, the more desireable it remains and therefore the more valuable the RF remains.
I am not in the full bloded race game but I would not expect them to send full drawings to their competitors either directly or otherwise.
Please do not think this arrogant but I have repeated this many times before and have NO intention of releasing our manual to the general public. I fully understand that it would help would be purchasers to buy but I believe it would cause more harm to my company than good. I will not be drawn into further dialogue regarding this matter.
For those wishing to view our manual please contact either Gordon or myself.
Best wishes,
