Law of Karma that all but guarantees that if you post for-sale plans
on the internet in violation of the license agreement, your airplane
will turn around and hurt you. It's amazing that people who plan to
spend $10,000 building an airplane would even consider screwing the
designer - to whom they will trust their life - out of a hundred bucks
or so. Scrounging for cheap materials and parts is one thing.
Inviting Bad Joss is quite another.

There is also the fact that no matter how good the drawings are, how
good your at reading them, or how detailed the instructions, there will
be something that just doesn't jive. Not to mention that one thing
you'll need to change. Having paid the designer his due will make
asking a question so much easier.
