Well,
Bad weather the past week has kept us all from doing any flying. But it hasn't stopped our trek for finding the perfect sponsor. Susan Cress has been working hard on targeting what we consider key CPG (consumer package goods) companies. What is key is finding the right brand that shares or is aligned with the Turbine Toucan's core brand attributes. It's a long sales cycle but an exciting one too. We've met some fantastic people who are extremely excited about the program. Though some have already earmarked budgets for 2008 season, they were very interested in the program, which is very encouraging.

Ken Erickson has been hard at work supporting Sean D. Tucker and team. They are getting close to winding down their season now, which will give Ken some time to work with the Turbine Toucan for next year's season.

Dave Kervinen is getting ready to work on a few time to climb records slated for Nov. 29th of this year. We are working out VX/VY numbers on paper and trying to determine a few profiles to go out and fly. Though we have a lot of drag, we also have a lot of wing area to utilize. So, keeping the speed down and the climb angle high is key. But, it's all theoretical until we just go out and do it ten plus times. More on this subject in the next few days.

Have a good weekend!
