Hi Paul/Guys;
      Bet you thought I fell of the face of the earth?
Well, I've been very busy with the LAEV, have completely
changed the impossible to install/remove Snap-Rings, for
the much easier, user friendly Smalley Spiral Retaining
Rings. Down side is they are more expensive.......But,
what the heck!!
But, the real additional good news is, through a very
good personal connection, this week (Mon, Tue), the LAEV
will be in a Dynamic and Structural Testing facility for
an UNOFFICIAL (Freebie), pre-evaluation.

Paul, since you're planning a trip to Japan I would like
to get together soon after you return.
My plans are to fly to L.A., meet with you at your shop
and go over the LAEV project, including assembly and dis-
assembly..........In addition there are a couple of
small details to be finished, ie: the Contact Ring's
electrical connection to the Gear-motor, that I need you
to carry the ball, since my shop is presently not set up
to do.

Let me know ASAP of your plans, so I can make my
arrangements.
        LOOKS LIKE WE ARE FINALLY OFF!!!!

                                       Thanks,
                                        Butch

I am still working on a tour through the rotary engine manufacturing facility.
If that cannot be arranged I may not go. I won't know until
nearly the last minute.

Great!   Thanks, Butch, a lot -- for the tremendous amount of time
you have put into this project.  I'm excited!   I think with all the smart
folks peer-reviewing this thing, I'm sure it will be a pretty darned
good design.
