Hi Paul,

hope you remember your visit in Wiener Neustadt some years ago?
Meanwhile I found my way via WankelSuperTec to AVL Schrick, as you can
see in the signature below. Unfortunately this means that I am
completely out of the Rotary business, but still more than enthusiastic
about it and working on my private Rotary projects, see attachment.
That's why I want to subscribe to your newsletter, just to stay in touch
and to see what else is going on in the Rotary world - just in case! And
to assist where ever possible from this end.

Looking forward to interesting discussions!


Mit freundlichen Grüßen/
Best regards

Yes I do. How are you Martin? Good to hear from you.

Here are some pictures from that time in addition to the three you sent.

There is a guy and company called Rotamax in Ohio that really needed your
services a couple of years ago. They failed to solve the charge cooling problems
and stopped doing biz recently. If he ever starts up again he would do well to
hire you at any salary.

I am working hard on getting turbo compound accepted and hopefully
that includes the rotary. If the piston engine community accepts
it so too Mazda hopefully. I was just in Oxford giving a presentation
on TC to the Formula 1 engine management engineers. Now that Thielert stumbled
badly hopefully Chris Dries, owner of Diamond Aircraft, will understand the
wonderful Wankel resource he is sitting on :)

Again good to hear from you.

thanks a lot for your quick reply! And for the pictures that bring back some very happy memories indeed!

I had spotted the Rotamax homepage a couple of months ago when I had to spend some time in the www due to lack of business here at AVL Schrick. I wasn't aware they went out of business though. Pity that. I wish I had known that they could have done with my support as I am now, working for AVL Schrick, completely out of the Rotary trade, as mentioned earlier.

Talking about Christian Dries: Check out http://www.austroengine.at/, in particular the news! Pity he made me leave some three years ago. But admittedly the two years with WankelSuperTec paid well for having to leave Diamond!

Good to hear from you as well, we'll stay in touch!

Regards,

Martin
