Sorry no pretty women this time.

   This guy owns a water jet company that makes stone counter tops.
   He water jet cut some steel gear box coupling parts for me about a
   year ago or there abouts.

   I am still learning how to take these shots.
   His hydro foil carbon fiber strut is about 42 inches high so he has to
   do this well off shore. The beach in this area has a gradual slope.

   So my camera is at max zoom and it is hard to see the view finder
   and follow him in bright sunlight. If the wind is coming from the right you try to  keep
   the kite in the upper right corner of the view finder. He is doing
   about 35 MPH.

   Obviously I am interested in these hydrofoils for my sea plane design.
   I think this is the way to go for rough water capabilities.

   BTW Peter Garrison flew his Mel-mouth airplane over today to see the TTC.
   Peter designed and built two of these aircraft. The first flew all over
   the world but was destroyed in a taxi collision. Neither one of them
   were powered by a rotary engine just yet :-) The range of his Mel-mouth
   airplanes is 2000 miles.

   Peter writes two columns for Flying magazine. The highest circulation
   aviation magazine in the world. Peter has already written two articles
   on the rotary in past years gone by for Flying.

    Hopefully he will write one on the TTC.

   TTC to hop tomorrow.

Peter Garrison's Plane Melmoth, not Mel-mouth was built after his first more conventional build was destroyed by a crashing Cessna in the run up or hold short position. Very sad. He does have a real interest in the rotary engine.
