Turbine Toucan Upgrades Continue

Posted January 31, 2008 at 6:45 pm · 1 Comment

For those of you following the Turbine Toucan’s upgrade process, there’s news over at the website - good news :D !

You see, they’re moving into the 21st century with their most certainly composite biplane and giving it a new glass cockpit, more sensors, and more safety :)

It appears that there’s still an eight foot tall pile of dirt outside the hangar and they don’t know what to do :wtf: . I have a suggestion - open the door, crank up the Toucan (tied down, of course :wink: ), and proceed to see how long a full tank of gas lasts at full power and max thrust setting with the prop blast facing the dirt berm :twisted: !

But I know David’s much nicer than that :thumb:

Best of luck to David and Team Toucan :cheers: !

    Greetings Jeff,
    We are only a few days away (weather permitting) from flying again. Panel is now complete as well as our start cart. As of last Friday, the dirt went away and replaced by a fresh pave job. Hope all is well in your world. David
