I don't want to overload the list on this subject, if you guys want the program - buy the book!

And copyright protects profit, not copying.  And fair use applies.

So a lawsuit might happen, but it would be wrong.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Performance Props

The "algorithms" aren't that simple and I don't

want to take the

time to
try to put it in a form to upload to this forum.

The program is

based on
blade element theory which you can probably find

in many textbooks,

and
if you wanted to, you could make your own program

from scratch that

would do the same thing as this program. If I

uploaded the program

itself, that would surely be copyright infringement.

Anyway, if you get the book, you also get to read

about all the

underlying theory.

Oops!  My bad.  You didn't write new code, you
copied code that was in the book.  Yeah, uploading
that WOULD place you at the bad end of a lawsuit.

The book will be here in a couple days, and then
I'll have one more airplane project that I can work on.
