Greetings-
I'm looking for a set of VP-2 plans. Anyone have a pristine set they're willing to part with for a reasonable price? -David |

I just acquired a pristine set for $10 (the cost of shipping from Canada to
Massacusetts). You can have them for $10 Plus the cost of shipping from Massachusetts to you. steve dot foley at att dot net wrote in message ps.com... Greetings- I'm looking for a set of VP-2 plans. Anyone have a pristine set they're willing to part with for a reasonable price? -David |

IIRC, the designer of the VP-2 had some safety concerns with the plane
(namely it makes a marginal 2-seater, though as a single seat plane the design is sound as I recall), and so he put the plans into the public domain. Given that they are no longer copyrighted, and the designer wants no part of them, if you can find a person with a set willing to just make you a copy then that should be perfectly fine. Note that this applies ONLY to cases like the VP-2 where the plans are in public domain. You can't grab copies of plans for other copyrighted sets.

I can't find anything to support this. In fact, the Evans aircraft website claims copyright on all VP-1 and VP-2 plans. |

N O T I C E All Volksplane Designs are protected under international copyright law. No part of VP-1 of VP-2 plans may be reproduced or distributed in any form or process without written permission of the designer. Authorized dealers are EAA, PFA, and Aircraft Spruce & Specialty. |

At one time, he had them on his website for a free download. At that
time I downloaded the plans and about 6 months later my computer caught a bug and I lost them. When I went back to download again he had taken them off the site because he was afraid of liability. Lou |

It seems that the free download of plans has been stopped. I'm not a lawyer and I don't pretend to be fully up on the law but I know that copyrights can expire but don't know all the details. If Evans makes no effort to protect his interest in the VP2, the plans will eventually end up in public domain. Tony |

Copyrights established after sometime in the 1970s when the new statutes came into effect expire after 70 years or the death of the author, whichever is longer. Unlike trademark, defense is not required to preserve one's copyrights. -- FF |
