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.

Here is the only TTC  flight we have so far.

For those of you with cell phones and tablets. You must save the file first.
Tablet and cell phone email programs do not tell you what folder it is in so you then
need ES File explorer to list all the movies and try to find it.

If you find it, ES Explorer will give you choice of movie players. So you need to install
half a dozen different ones to find one that will work with mpeg format. Some that work
well for my 4.4.2 version of Android are MX and Video Player. Other versions of
Android may require other movie player versions.
