Hobbico, a large competitor in the world of model aircraft, purchased Estes-COX in January 2010 for an undisclosed sum. Hobbico, based out of Champagne, Illinois, is 100 percent employee-owned and includes subsidiaries Revell-United Model, Great Planes Model Distributors and Tower Hobbies.

I just had a very long talk with both Christine and Mary Roberts at Estes.
Basically none of this violates the "spirit" of copyrights. Mary agrees that regardless of how their attorneys want to justify their paycheck this site and my site only add to Estes' business.
So it has been discussed with Estes/Hobbico and they are fine with it.
The site is great!
