It's going to take longer

Ive been trying to ges some sponsors but today I have a collection of 120 responses that say "NO" to give money for the trip. A lot of them say that they only give money to charity and others just say that are bad times and they don't have any money.
The dream is going to take longer to meake it real but I am going to keep trying, If I cant in 2010 defenetly I am going to do it for 2011.

Practicing

I’ve been practicing landings on rough terrains to improve my skills. On my trip I am going to land in a lot of complicated places. I started with a big place and then with more training I am going to reduce it. The one that is shown in the video is a big one, but I was flying with a friend and I needed a long runway to takeoff.
