Monster energy drink has even sponsored a RC giant scale RC plane. Red Bull can have it for free. The only thing I can think of is they are trying to get some dollars for free - by charging to let people use their logo.
Anyone have some more insight on this one? It seems just crazy to me!

It's not so much the liability of danger. It is the money. Think of it like this.... You have a company such as comp-arf. You "use" the Red Bull logo and scheme and sell a lot of planes. Basically you are using their logo to make money on your product. Thats where the license issues are often miostaken. It's true though.

I am building a 260 that will get this... the black version...

Hi Freaks !

@GremlinX
This is not the black version! Itīs an special darkblue which shines in the sun
from light blue into black ! This color is awesome, but very difficult do paint !!!

Hereīs mine:

Hey Chri....

That is one awesome looking 540....looking at the pics in your gallery there's one where the sunlight is hitting the plane just right to show the "blue" color.

ya, who cares if they get mad - gonna sue me to remove the graphics from my plane ? not likely..

If I were selling a plane pre-covered and making money from their name/logo without the due royalties then I could see them having a right to be pissy.

My opinion - this is not Nazi germany - you put the graphics on your plane for your own personal use and nobody is going to say or do a danged thing. (I've had my red bulls on my plane all year and not a peep from anyone).

(PS - I can't believe how many of you are scared some boogie man will come down on you if you put red bulls on your plane - and even worse - trying to scare others away from doing so)


NO FEAR !!
