The "Head Carbon Monkey" himself

I'm very excited to announce that Mike Cooke from Aardvark Technologies in the UK has agreed to come on as the project "Foil Development Advisor". I will be designing and building the foils and moulds myself, but Mike has agreed to help me out with all my questions and give me pointers on the process and system setup. There are so many things that are "secret" in the foiling game (control systems, flap size, wing tips, foil taper, ect.). It will be very helpful to have a master foil craftsman to take some of the voodo out of the process. I can't wait to start working with him on the design aspect of my lifting foils.

Great news. Reducing variables is the most important project management activity you've got!

Sounds like the success probability percentage just clicked up a few notches, and the expected date of first foiling just moved closer!

Cheers,

Bill
