My $.02. This young man lifted some pictures for the purposes of elevating himself. In the grand scheme of things this isn't that big of a deal...no crime was committed here. Since he is reading this, I'd say if you feel like vindicating yourself, get a job if you don't have one, save up some cash, and buy a tail kit and go from there. I was 21 when I first started building my RV-6 and it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I figured out how to build a RV in a time in my life when I didn't have any real prospects or direction, and did it the old fashioned way: hard work. No reason why anyone else can't do the same.

HOLY SMOKES CHAD!!!

I know I'm late on this whole thing (that work thing got in the way again) but this is just amazing!!!

You've handled this like a true champion Chad! Very strategic and I'm glad it's all calming down now. I tend to agree that he wasn't after you but the rock-n-roll glamor of being an aircraft builder! (cough cough)

I did join the board and sent him a message that if this dream is that important to him he should do it for real. Who knows, maybe we're see him land at Oshkosh some year?!?

Great job man!

Chad, this was truly weird. I hope that if you decide to take down your site, that there will still be a way for those of us that have looked at it to see how you tackled problems, somehow, will still be available. You have a lot of great info on there.

Cheers

Forgot to respond to this earlier...this is a great lesson for kids, and I don't mind in the least.

No plans to take it down...if anything, I may start working on some editing, but I plan to keep it up and running as long as my software is supported!

now that thread shifted a bit to the issue of publishing private stuff to the internet and i would like to make a remark on that...

a while ago i showed a buddy of mine (he's a police officer in germany) pics of my project at the wing assembly stage. he was very interested so i showed him a builders log site from somebody else (i don't remeber which site it was) to get him an idea how the project will continue in the future.

at this site we stumbled over some pics of the builders wife and little daughter. my buddy stated that everyone should be very careful doing this.

his rationale sounded a bit strange but i think it was valid. he said that everyone now can see this pics and for 99.9% of these potential viewers it's not a problem at all. but there are still 0.1% or so left. "for germany this equals to some 80.000 freaks. now make 80.000 dots on the map of germany. don't get me wrong but the next freak is not far away."

he stated that some pedophiles (or people with other serious issues) search specifically the internet for other peoples wifes or children to "participate" in their life. and it just doesn't matter if the purpose of the website is related to airplanes, horses or whatever. and maybe someone of them that is not so far away "falls in love" with one of your relatives. you do not want that!

i don't want to sound paranoid here but i think the best thing is not to post any pictures or informations of loved ones to the public. if i would own a builders site i wouldn't mind to put in some pictures of myself. i'm like the average RV-builder: a adult, ugly, male guy. so no hazards here... :-)

WOW....reminds me of a poster on the AOPA forums. His user name had "cowboy" in it. He claimed fame and experience flying military airplanes and helicopters. So many users got caught up in his experience but then someone called him out.

Watermark your photos and you will never have the issue again.

I had some videos on Youtube that someone stole and claimed as theirs. The only problem is that my face was on the videos he stole and reposted.

I had a discussion yesterday afternoon about watermarking photos. I'm not sure how I would go about doing that with THOUSANDS of pics I have in my build log. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that with Front Page 2000? Going thru one by one ain't gonna happen...

I will ask a few friends. Other options are thumbnails with lower resolution, and a script to avoid "right clicking". Someone with Photoshop skills can still remove the watermark but its a good start.

If you can get your hands on a copy of photoshop, you could make an action that you can run on a folder of photos to open, apply the watermark, save and close.

This is a pretty good guide to what's described above.
