Bob White and everyone. If Bob agrees and he has some space left
on his web site what do you think of having the movie of the month?

People can send Bob a short movie in mpeg format on a CD of some event
related to rotary engines. Preferably outside shots of rotary powered
air planes in the air or taken from inside the airplane. I would love
to get some movies of Ken's Coot taking off and landing from a lake or
river. Perhaps we can get a fast outboard powered boat Ken and use a
two way radio to coordinate a landing in the Columbia river and then
shoot a takeoff. That would be fun. Here are a few stills.

Also a movie shot from inside your airplane during a take off or
landing would also be spectacular.

I have that movie Francois shot on the Mistral Turbo Piper we can start with.

Certain talks given at air shows about the rotary would also be possibilities
however the hour long size would be a problem I think.

Since every web site is limited we can remove old movies as necessary.
In the mean time I or anybody else can down load them and store them on
CD for posterity.

   Yes my son has a digital cam corder so I could cut you a CD and
send it to you and let you do it.
  Heres another cool shore final on lake Union with the space needle
in the background.

Great picture Ken. Thanks.

BTW I just checked Francois's movie. Two problems. The sound level is way
down low and people want to hear what a rotary sounds like.  Two; it is in wmv
format which almost no editing program can handle. At least I have not found
one yet that can handle wmv format. mpeg is the preferred format for down 
loading and editing.
