Sling 4 Flies over Southern California
This is a beautiful airplane! I am so sorry for the loss of your son, may God make it easy for you. The tail number is a wonderful way to honor his memory. Fly safe and enjoy your airplane to it's fullest! God bless you.
How long did the build take them and what was their all in price with the build assist program?
And it runs mogas instead of avgas which is both healthier and half the cost. So 3-4x cheaper than a Cirrus, both in fuel and service. But Sling, you really have to transition to factory built certified and single piece composite has to be the way. There is just no growth potential in a 300k$ plane that you have to build yourself with kit build affecting resale value as well. Cirrus had 13 kit planes completed and killed 10 people. Now they totally dominate as certified despite being absurdly overpriced. Great place to start could be a Risen copy. Very simple construction and blows everything away. Certified with a parachute, it could really make a dent in aviation. And no 300k nonsense or worse. Think 100k, Rotax greed aside.
I would love to have an airplane equipped as well as this one for $100k, but since the avionics is more than half of that, the engine is more than half of that, and the paint is not free, Sling would need to write checks while giving away the plane. Don't expect a $100k TSi anytime in the near future. As far as certified, that probably won't happen soon, either. But, ready built airplanes without requiring a build? Mosaic will certainly help with that!
@@EdwardHefter Well Carbon Design Vampire 2 is composite and fully assembled for 83700€ including a 912. A G3x for LSAs costs around 3k$ and even overpriced certified is 10k. And I said Rotax greed aside.
@@DanFrederiksen, buy what works best for you and fly in good health! Blue skies and tail winds to you.
@@EdwardHefter what would work for me is a field propulsion interstellar starship of sophistication like those in ET possession used to visit us for a billion years. Got any of those for sale? I am looking for progress, my guy. Try to understand.
@@DanFrederiksen, I’d also love the highest tech at the “near free” prices, but the only place I’ve seen that is Social Media, and I’m not a huge fan of that tech…
So you've got to build the damn thing.....well, whatever blows your skirt up.
Why do you still have the plastic on the displays ? 😂
There is a special moment just before first flight where the pilot is getting themself ready for that instant they break loose from the bonds of the Earth, and in preparation for that leap into sky, they perform the symbolic “breaking the seal” of the airplane. Removing the screen cover, and the plastic on the Go Around button, represents the beginning of a life of adventure. When you are about to take your first flight, you’ll also get to experience the exhilaration that comes from leaving the past behind. Until then, I guess, you’ll just dream about it.
@@EdwardHefter I didn't realize the video was taken before the first flight. I guess that makes sense. I fly a 182RG I love the feeling of leaving my problems on the ground. Very nice airplane.
Congratulations! It's a spectacular airplane.
How long did it take you to build from first rivet to having an aircraft ready to test flight?
About 10 months.
Bravo.perfect. go ahead
Great video! Watching from Zimbabwe... Our story is similar! Come to Zimbabwe ... It's beautiful flying here...
What kind of insurance were you able to get with the Sling as new and older pilots?
We had a great experience with Denise Porter at Aviation West Insurance Brokers.
Congratulations, that’s a beautiful bird you got there!
I am a pilot and an owner of a small airplane. I have the same comment as many others. I wish that my wife had the same attitude and perspective as Brenda. Instead of seeing it as the potential for adventures, she just sees it as an expensive hobby that I selfishly indulge in.
check your flight ias against the poh please
Yes, we're seeing actual doesn't match what is published. Still assessing that.
Well spoken ma’am and sir, good on you for honouring your son’s memory. Congratulations on your new aircraft!
I’m sending this video to my wife lol.. great job guys, I love how you worked on this together.. beautiful plane. I’m looking at pulling the trigger on the Tsi for all the reasons you have mentioned.
I sincerely hope that panel is brand new new, take the plastic off, what a clown.
OMG, that’s so funny, because you thought he was actually going to fly with it that way rather than just protecting the screen during all of the final preparations for first flight!
@@EdwardHefter why talk about how great your new airplane is when it hasn't even left the ground yet???
Hey - do you normally have your head up your butt or were you just having a bad day? Don't be mean.
We typically take some time to edit our videos. By the time this went live, that plane was already done with Phase 1 flying. We know the planes work.
Brenda can you talk to my wife? 😂 Rich you’re a lucky man. Beautiful plane btw!
Indeed I am a very lucky man!
If there was a sales video for the sling This is it! Loved the story from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing
I loved their story, but the video seemed to cut off Rich's sentence. I want to hear more.
❤
Beautiful airplane, and we like those Sunvisors, though we may be a little biased. 😁 Thanks for letting us use your airplane as our prototype v2 guinea pig!
We have nearly 100 hours on the hobbs now, and every time we fly we remark about how pleased we are with the visors. Very effective, nice quality.
Do you guys still use French Valley? It would be awesome to try to catch you guys brining one to test and see. I am close to FV.
I love the Sling TSI. And your work there. Congratulations.
Looking forward to having it at Sun ‘n’ Fun 2024!
How tall are you? I’m 6’4” and trying to figure out if I would be comfortable.
Up to 6’6”, no problem. As the seats slide back, they also get lower because people with longer legs also tend to have longer torsos. The rudder pedals are also adjustable, so they can be moved forward or back to adjust for the legs. Above about 6’6”, use the “tall pilot” seat option that makes the seat slide farther back and lower. Better yet - come to Torrance, CA, for a demo flight!
I want to get one of these as soon as I get my license!
I’d recommend the Sling TSi, since the Sling 4 Turbo isn’t being made anymore.
@@EdwardHefter well thank you. I was unaware of that.
Has anyone put air conditioning in a Sling TSI? Is it even an option?
This guy did. He points it out at 1:40 czcams.com/video/vTxFb4G5UPI/video.htmlsi=IIP5IwRXootmLlJu
Ik heb al veel films gezien over de Sling. Zodra mijn ppl er is, zal ik zeker overwegen om een sling tsi te kopen. Mooi verhaal Arthur.
does rotax burn av gas?
It burns just about anything that is 91 Octane or higher. AvGas, 94UL, premium unleaded car gas…
Can I take it for a spin please?
Definitely no contest! Sling is the way! The grip is really cool!
Arthur, your hands-on approach to building your TSi is truly inspiring! The attention to detail in the paint, interior, and mods is remarkable. Best of luck for Oshkosh
Purchased by an owner in North Carolina in April 2023. Already on the market again, this time for asking price of $187K. I'm not in the "buying / selling market" but I guess this is normal activity for aircraft?
Burning man… 🤮 you’re old grow up
Go avh 💪
This guy *BUILT* his first airplane!?!?!? WOW!
No, he had built assist and did only the easy parts... thats not building your own plane.
@@flexairz ok
You should give the mechanic more credit , not just have them in the background ..
Did they build it for you?
Bravo
It looks really sexy
Awesome stuff, great to know there is a build-assist facility in the US. Although I always wanted to visit Johhansbuge, I'm from Chicago. I do have a couple of questions if you can help answer them, as I'm still working on my PPL. Is it a good idea to start the process sooner? If so where to start? As you can tell I'm already sold out on the Sling TSi. Good news I just passed my written exam🙂
That paint scheme is SICK!!! Nice build R,B,D!
Great Aircraft. I know you will have many hours of pleasure flying in it.
Thanks for the kind words Kevin!
I’m still willing to accept it as a gift
...we'll see...
Dang - super great price...
Very good price
That is a very temping offer. I bet it will sell very quickly at that price.
What is the wait time now once a deposit is made?
At what phase do you paint the parts?
pretty much the last thing. However, figuring out the scheme, getting it done professionally, obtaining the stencils, and selecting the right paint is a bit of a process -- so start early!!
I endorse this video 100%. Thank you @slingaircraftnorthamerica
