The question is if the costs of a patent can bring up enough money, within the RC world that is difficult.
My idea of an FDR meter had many follow ups by other home brewers and recently a true MR33 commercial product. I had interests by Muchmore but at the end they went up another way to keep control on an equal performance. For me it still gives me a proud feeling, for sure with the knowledge 3 cheating ENS top names were send home. And of course the people around me know I started this.
