Curious about STEALTH
Several years ago I believe I read a public statement in a magazine that AE would no longer use the word stealth to describe their products. In fact an attempt was made by Leo Stoller to secure the term as a trademark exclusive to his company. He was unsuccessful in court but from my limited research it appears that a campaign of intimidation was launched against many users of the term. Has in fact AE dropped the use? Much reading is available on line but here is a link to an article about the gentleman.

Re: Curious about STEALTH
I don't think Associated has used the term Stealth since the B2/T2 series. Would be an interesting question for the "ask Gene" thread. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

That appears to be a term used only by distributors and not by AE itself.Bimdapogs wrote:What about the B4 Stealth.

Re: Curious about STEALTH
If you wanted to know if Associated stopped calling their transmissions "Stealth" because of that dude’s campaign – or for whatever reason - then I'd say it’s a valid question for that thread.arf wrote:No, that thread is for questions about toy cars.

I noticed that guy also claims to own the word "hoax".

That plate would look good on a Dodge Stealth.
