Yes, if it existed, it would confirm itself as a number only. You could
confirm
it existed, but not the technology. If I can find it, I will give you the
number
Mike gave me. You can search the patent records on the internet, as I first
did.
>Fine, but you guys were competitors right?
Never. I have never competed with Mike's venture. Remember Don, I have put
my one
company product in mothballs until I finish the ultralight. The ultralight
is supposed to be
a demonstrator for any company who joins Helios to use. Helios was not
supposed to compete
with anyone. It was going to be the broker for other airship companies. We
sell to the
customer, we buy it from the manufacturer, we operate it for the customer.
I will tell you the same thing for me that I did for Mike, don't give ME
money either.
I intend to do this first ship on my own. I will donate it to Helios. If
you are not convinced
of my sincerity after I build it, don't give Helios money. I want the
entire
membership to believe in this, but I will not force anyone to do anything.
I only ask that once I get the ultralight finished, you consider INVESTING
more in HELIOS INC,
a company you already own 1/30th of.
Even now, I intend to contract out ships to LTAS once we start to get
orders. As long as Mike is not
lurking around on our board, we can easily help LTAS, even if they don't
want to help themselves.
I guarantee you, if Helios waves money under thier noses, they will build
ships.
