Dear Russ,

We got home late last night from a three week trip to Turkey and a wedding
in South Carolina.  Yes, I do occasionally answer my phone, but only when I
am at home.  We will be picking up the mail at the Post Office today, and I
will try to find the prices for mailing my book (A Practical Guide to
Airplane Performance and Design) to Australia.  You can get more information
on my books from my website at www.crawfordaviation.net

I am not set up to process MC/Visa etc.  We can work something out later
with check or money order (US).

Good luck on your time-to-climb project sounds interesting.

Don

Hey Don good hearing from you. I love your books. I quote
from them frequently and gave you a plug in my book "How to Cool
Your Wankel". My A&P wife Robin is in the 99's up here in Ventura.
Still a student pilot.

Russ is trying to get a motor glider to a time to climb to 10,000
foot record using an all aluminum  turbo two rotor. Sea level
power can be up to 420 HP but not necessarily flat rated
to 10,000 feet. Target gross weight is 1000 pounds. The engine
only needs enough fuel for a few minutes. Firewall forward weight
is about 250 pounds maybe a bit more for the turbo.

Here is a suggested modifications to one of your excellent illustrations.
