I have been following your TTC project from the time you started working on it. It is apparent that the machine is ready for the pilot to begin practicing for this record attempt. As of yet the pilot hasn't even pulled the nose up and tried a moderate climb. This attempt requires flight and power management on the edge of the envelope. It would seem to me that getting the pilot ready for an attempt would take some actual flight time on the edge of the envelope. Your pilot has demonstrated beyond any doubt that he is unwilling to do that.

Not enough headwind to fly a demonstration flight is not an excuse I would expect to hear from the caliber of pilot required for this mission. In my opinion this record attempt is not going to happen. To bad, this has the ability to change the worlds conception of aircraft rotary engines. Sorry to be so blunt but this project needs another pilot if it is going to be anything other than a pipe dream.

I totally agree with what you are saying. The rotary movement really  needs a test pilot
familiar with the rotary installation to inspect new installation and do one or
two first  test flight. My guess it would be worth a $1000 plus expenses to the builders.

People are very reluctant to fly their brand new creations for the first time.

We are going to move the TTC to another airport close by that is surrounded
by large farm fields.
