Hi Paul,
   George Lendich said I should introduce myself to you and join your
   rotary discussion group.
   We have been talking about Rotary engines and construction methods for
   the Stratos aircraft I am developing. He said he already wrote to you
   about me.

   A little background about me..(Will keep it brief)
   My father designed an aircraft called the stratos. The original aircraft
   flew well, however when he started to produce the aircraft he made a
   second Stratos that had aerodynamic changes that caused a severe stall.
   At low altitude it stalled unexpectedly and claimed his life. I have the
   original Stratos that I have been back engineering for a while. In six
   months I aim to start building it (once I get a bigger workshop). Until
   then I am looking at different construction methods, motors and
   finishing detailed CAD data etc. in preparation to building it. The
   original Stratos was constructed similar to a vari-eze or dragonfly.
   Right now I work for Boeing Australia as an Aero Engineer, I have worked
   on many aircraft professionally F35 variants, F18C/D, Eurofighter,
   CH300, 777, 787. In disciplines of Concept design, Design for
   manufacture, R+D, Testing.

   I always liked rotaries but haven't until now seen them used in
   private aircraft (besides the one-off). I studied ducted fans in detail,
   I don't know - I may/may not have something worthwhile to offer for
   discussion?
   Lastly George has gotten me onto a rotron  axiro 40+hp turbo rotary.
   If those figures are correct i am very impressed - it will extend my
   flight envelope considerably.

   Best Regards
   Ron
