[wildhare]

Let's get this straight.

I have no idea who sold the planes.

I have no organization, and I have no ex-employees. Wild Hare is just me and my wife, always has been that way. Any statement about discruntled ex-employees is a diversion, there are no such people.

Somebody in Australia or New Zealand figured out who made my planes and they thought they could make a buck by buying my planes with my name on them from my builder. They did this and caused me years of problems like these.

I would have sold this guy a canopy anyway if I had one, but I don't and I don't feel the need to go to all the work to get one made for him when he never bought anything from me. The plane is long since out of production. Follow on support is one of the things we try hard to give for our own customers, it's a lot of work for me (remember, no oganization, it's just me) and I spend my time on people who buy things from me, secondary sales are a lower priority.

So now if I've lost the whole New Zealand market because I won't supply parts that I don't have for counterfeit planes that I never had a part in, well, then I'll just have to suffer that loss.
