Les,
Yep, along with the props for the Yun 7 Hamilton Standard sold to the Xian Aircraft Company we also sold them an air conditioning
system. They kept asking us for blueprints of parts so they could "repair" them. When they asked for a drawing of the turbine in the
air cycling machine (expands engine bleed air to provide cold air to the system) I told them that they were not repairable they
changed their tune to "we want to make our own." I then explained that blueprints of parts were not included in the contract price
but we would gladly provide a quote to sell them. They asked how much it might be and I told them between 4 - 5 million dollars to
recover our design costs and that was the end of that.

Rob,
I think we could exchange at least a days worth of Chinese stories that involve aviation. I work for Rolls Royce and as a company,
we have experienced some pretty bizarre encounters with the Chinese. They have no limits as far as what they will attempt to copy,
cheapen, and try to sell back to the people they stole from.
