I know I started this tread and it didn't even dawn on me!! My wife saw me reading this post and recognized his name from an email she deleted the other day. And sure as s#@t, I unknowingly sold him a used HQ montana I 9.5 last year on ebay... He must be using that to copy from, I don't think it's just a coincidence! And that's bulls#@t that he is trying to feed people about this kite being big in the UK, under the nova name. Is there nothing we can do about this guy?

When they paid the money came through pay pal under this email address charlottethao2@yahoo.com

He prob bought the kites and sent them to China and they copyed them there. I dont think there is any copy right law in China. they are sent to the US as toys and there is no duty fees on toys. We got into this when we bought a whole container of RC planes. when we got them we checked them out and they were copys of the name brand planes here in the states. He is not making them so is there anything ya can do to him?

I don't think there's much you can do other than talk about it(post about it in every single forum you can so that other people know about it! There's nothing he can do about that.). HQ would need to sue the guy to keep their design/patent protections. And it is an older model, so it's probably not really worth the effort.
