Hi Paul,

    Just landed around noon today from Florida and had a ton of e mails.
Just lucky I spotted this one otherwise you might waited a week for a reply
{:>).  Made the 2000 mile round trip with the rotary performing super.  Cold
weather had my static rpm up to 5800 and on a cold morning (<32F), it does
not bogg down when the prop unstalls. Took off from little airport north of
Atlanta and had 5800 rpm from take off roll until level off.  Too bad can't
count on that on hot days, else I would have my prop repitched.

    Ok, I'll be waiting for the switch.  I'll want to  check with you to
make certain I hook up things correctly.  I'd like to try and get the
aircraft wired and into the air this month as its due it's annual this
month.  So I'll start once I get your switch and am certain I understand it.

   I attended the Lakeland Jan RV flyin and almost 10% of the aircraft were
Rotary Power.  Mine, Tracy, Finn and George Graham showed up with his rotary
E Racer as well.  The interest level appears to be increasing.  I think,
that unlike many other alternative engines, the fact that the same rotary
powered aircraft keep appearing at the flyins is begining to make an
impression about the viability and reliability of the rotary.

  Any how, good to hear from you and I'll be waiting for the package.

Thanks for the travel article Ed. We needed a little upbeat encouragement 
around here because of the PowerSport Velocity incident. It must be
really nice to be able to  just jump in the airplane and pop on down 
to Florida in the winter time. The switch will go out tomorrow.
