OK George

I said your concept had about as much merit as a tilt rotor in previous
posts. But now you are trying to stretch it a bit.

Hallo John

I am pleased, that you still remember me and the disk rotor helicopter.
Years ago I saw the Bell XV-15 flying at the Paris Airshow and my opinion
was, that the pilot transports a basket of rough eggs. When I was a farmer
boy, I often had to transport a basket of rough eggs to the city with the
bicycle of my mom. Therefore I know, what it means.... Now, a row of years
later and development costs of billion $$, the V22 does not fly better.
Therefore I mean, that the disk rotor concept has much more merit as a
tiltrotor and I am only trying to publish this fact.
