TSi Test Flight with NEW Rotax 915 Engine

Before we could take the TSi to SUN 'n FUN this year, we needed to replace the engine for the SECOND time! Jean and Wayne completed the test flight early in the morning which included flying the pattern, flying in the PV practice area, and flying around Catalina Island.

Time spent flying (with JEAN) is not deducted from one's lifespan. 😂

Thanks captain for all information about this aircraft
My question is
Is the light sport or general aviation
Can I get PPL,IR,CPL on it
Thanks

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

It's experimental and you can get PPL, IR, and CPL

[@LifeLatitudes]

Nice vid, I wonder if you change the ECU as well? Its pain in the a.. to reach the ECU beneath the fixed front cover isn’t it?

[@megatechguy7376]

It's unfortunate that this TSI crashed a few days ago.

[@eglkFlyer]

Cool video. So how many hours were on engines 1 and 2. Any problems with them?

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

Both engine 1 & 2 had about 1,200 hours on them. No problems with either engine, it was just time to change them. Thanks for asking!

[@heinrichgerhardt6119]

Is this the highest-time TSi in the fleet now?
