Hi,

  Please subscribe me to your rotary engine newsletter.  I'm contemplating
  building a Glasair Sportsman, and the 13B rotary engine looks neat...

Regards,
Eric

Here is one in Australia more or less state of the art.

Speaking of that Neal we may show up between Christmas and new years.
With a side trip to see Chris in  NZ.

Paul,
           Looks like I may have the A computer out of action, so not game
to fly until Tracy sends me another chip.  Freight will be at least another
week plus, so now wondering what I can do in the mean time.  Was to check
the performance of the air inlet restriction in the air, but all is on hold
until I get the computer fixed.  Regardless will be great to see you.
Regional air fares are murder within Oz, more than the fare from Oz to the
"ram paddock" where Chris is.  So suggestions.  If you fly you have the
choice of Parkes, or Dubbo or Orange. Parkes and orange are the same
carrier.  Orange and Dubbo are only 100 Km away or an hour by road. Then
there is apparently a fast train (their words, not mine) to Dubbo, Bathurst
or Orange.  Not sure of times but much cheaper than the plane.  The air
flight to Parkes ranges from $400 down to $220!!   Not doing anything that
can't be changed between now and new year, so really looking forward to
meeting you both.  I can even pick you up from Mascot if necessary. about 6
hour trip.  Happy to do that if it helps.  Accommodation provided, so
whatever suits. Let me know.  Neil.


I did not know Tracy was still supporting his EFI. Last I heard he had
retired.
He needs a PR department :)

We will rent a car in Sydney. I like to drive around in the outback :)
I used to be able to use my Aussie pilot's license but now it requires a
top secret clearance. That apparently requires approval from the PM :)

Paul, Apparently I am also illegal, for I thought I only had to apply for an
atsic (whatever they call it) card once, but apparently it has to be renewed
every 2 years.  So I happily fly without.  We have to be very sure that no
one blows up an emu or two.  The roos that hop all over the aerodromes have
failed to get their security checks as well, so I am in good company.

Neil.

Heaven help you if you hit a Roo on landing :)
