Dick, Paul,
Well, at least I've got replies, however blunt some of them may be!

Dick, I do know that you've tried most things in regard to flying machines, so I guess you've got more ideas about this "thing" than I have, and Paul I believe that you are more of a traditionalist in your way of thinking, but you both have probably got a lot to offer.

Yes, this guy ( not me, just in case you thought that) is definitely eccentric in his ways of looking at things, but he is intelligent and thinks a lot and his conclusions sometimes may look a little distorted to the average person, but a lot of his crazy ideas work, so who knows!

He's interested in a host of other things, - builds his own fullsize ( successful) boats, in fact
you name it and he'll have built something like it with his own twist to it!
Also he has a dislike of computers which is why you never actually hear from him.

You guys have been around a while and I respect your opinions and approaches (which very often would be diametrically opposed), but I guess that in this case you are in complete agreement! so who am I to argue?
I just thought there might have been some wisdom behind his theory.
