Hi Paul,

    Flew over to see Vlad and his 3 rotor Velocity project as well as two
partially assembled L-29s.  Met Vlad and his crew and had a great discussion
about rotary engines and such, with me knowing no Russian and two of the
crew knowing little English.  Amazing how much technical data can be
conveyed by means other than language.  Actually language was not as much a
barrier to communication as were English and metric units.

   Performance with the new engine is just superb.  This is the 5th flight
with no oil on canopy when I returned, amazing how scary landing can be when
you can see the runway {:>).  So the vent in the top of the Ross gear box
seems to doing the job.  Still getting a few drops around the rear seal, but
can live with that.

   Only a few more weeks and hope to see you, Chuck and as many as can make
it at Sun & Fun.  Sun & Fun has now given Auto Powered 3 rows (true they are
short rows, but we only had one row previously or actually none until Tracy
raised the issue).  So would be nice to fill them all.

Best Regards

Ed Anderson
