you wrote about cooling

http://home.earthlink.net/~rotaryeng/how-to-cool12.txt.  Just wanted to

drop you a note that i really enjoyed reading it and found it really
informative and interesting about aircraft engines as a

whole.

I am a new engineer and got thrown into the powerplant group on the FAA

certification of our Adam A500.  I'm trying to learn aircraft piston engines
on the fly and your letter helped clear up a

little of my confusion.

thanks again

Thanks for the complement shane.

Stick some 400 HP turbo compound Mazda three rotor engines in the Adam prop
plane Shane.
They will last forever. We have a company in Switzerland (Mistral)
certifying the two rotor.
Maybe you can talk them into certifying a three rotor version for you.

I took the liberty of adding you to the email list. If it gets too much just
let me know at this email address and I will remove you. Ask any and all
questions no matter what.

We'll be certifying the 3-rotor models anyway and will gladly make them
available to Adam Aircraft... as well as to anyone interested, obviously.
Development of the 3-rotor models is on track (actually it has been
accelerated due to great commercial interest) and we plan to have 2
prototypes flying before the end of the year or very early next year.

Good news Francois. Thanks.
