I'll be there - et qui encore?
But I'll be driving, no club plane available and my own still in the 
"dreams" phase.
Ceux qui trouvent ma camionette bleue sont les bienvenus pour l'apéro!

Fox-Papa dont la guindaille m'a empeché de dormir la nuit de vendredi á 
samedi, j'en avais tellement ras le bol que je suis parti samedi après 
midi. Legend-air plus pour moi, le camping au moins!

C'est le samedi soir...
Mais le F-PRAZ est resté au hangar, j'ai du mal a fiabiliser mon 2° 
allumage électronique. Un vrai banc de test ce C90...

Stealth, I am not a native French speaker, neither could I find the time 
for translating a complete book. OTOH I am on the lookup for books about 
designing light planes, so I have some interest... Any compromise 
possible? Do you possess this book? In electronic form?

Very nice, Philippe, un tout grand merci!
It is only 77 double pages, not that big a volume, but it is a rather 
poor scan of a not too brilliant print so it takes some deciphering 
especially in the formulae. I'm afraid it's going to give me a hard 
time; but it does bring the info I am after.
Stealth, allow me to be nasty: what is a translation worth to you? And 
don't come and offer me a crate or even a barrel of your lousy 
Australian beer!

it isnt worth a cracker to me. zip, stuff all, nothing.
what I have realised is that if a translator isnt fluent in both
languages the translator needs to be fluent in the language being
translated from not the language being translated to.
desgrandchamps has me lost on many of the colloquial french
expressions he uses as he describes things.
on the subject of beers. would you believe that I like Kronenburg 1664
:-) perhaps the only decent thing to come out of france.
that doesnt stop me firing something useful at you via email though.

I have no idea what that last line means but it looks rude :-)
"to save our vines I'd pour you a beer that'd kill you"????? what???

English is also my second language. Strine is my first :-)

Which illustrates my level of French: I had taken the broad meaning, but 
had missed the game of the word that does it all.
Merci, Philippe!

Well, I tried to make a start, but disappointment was almost immediate: 
the PDF is incomplete, actually it even lacks TABLE 1 which is the basis 
of all further formulae and calculations.
I privately received another version, in two pdf-parts, with exactly the 
same pages missing - too bad.
Would anyone have the original book, or a pointer to a library that has 
it? One of France's excellent aviation museums, perhaps? Or the RSA?
