- Big thank you to everyone who have supported my airplane build assist through www.gofundme.c...
I was in California earlier this month to continuing building the Mojosling. If you’re new to the channel, for the last fee months, I’ve been building an experimental aircraft called the Sling TSi. On this build episode, you get a summary of the airplane wings, the components involved including the flaps and ailerons.

![Sealing & Pressure Testing my Fuel Tanks [Sling TSi Build Video #15]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ML4a2SPT7eQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Looking forward to seeing this project done!
How about a little detail on how you seal up the gas tanks. Thanks!
How are the tanks sealed and do they need a pressure test before fitting?
Just cleco and nail the tank assemblies together.
Geez, there will be a surprise for you then.
What you pointed out as intake for the fuel was in fact the outlet from the tank going to the dual fuel selector. Your fuel left over was the return from the fuel injection system from the engine. Fuel is filled on top of the wing into the tank.
How do you seal the tanks?
Been waiting so long for this update to see work being done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lookin good. Hope everyone stays safe and productive!
Man I’m so happy for you!!!
Mike you have made great progress on your build it’s really moving along.
Mike I have been following your build for a while now. Impressive and looking forward to your maiden flight.
Alright Mike you're build is my new favorite project to watch - I'm giving up on the Raptor, cool recycling of an Audi V6 Diesel engine but otherwise pretty impractical.
He recently just got it off the ground a few inches, so it will fly. Test pilots may show up Monday, July 27. Maybe this will be it?
@@asquare9316 According to a recent video, Raptor has flown around the pattern but it looked unstable in pitch. That engine is going to reach TBO before it really flies. :)
The service looks very good if you need help. I'll keep watching until it's flying but I'm really interested when you buy the engine. I know a lot of people think any Rotax is too expensive but in the end, it you up there and not them. Great work and an excellent choice.
Got the engine already. Currently getting hooked up and tested. Full test and flight display coming soon 👌🏾
Amazing. I came for the aviation videos and the bro @maxmaxwell shows up. Awesome
im glad for you. because of you im motivated to get the darkaero and build. cant wait to see the finished TSI.
Its really coming along Mike..! Its looking really good..!!
Good to see Max Maxwell getting warmed up for his build. Keep building Mike!
All Most There --Mike you must be jacked -up!!! Congrats ...London Bridge wasn't built in a day...but a plane in an 8th month period including a new child arrival and coronoa out there,,,simply awesome!!( not the corona part ,of coursE)
Hello Mike! This was a particularly awesome video! I really learned a lot about the internals of the wings and fuel tanks! Can't wait to see you fly her for the first time! Congratulations!
Nice to see it coming together...
Really glad to see this Mike. Before you know it...test flight and then pilot check out.
Keep it up bro like the content big aviation fan,big ups.
I so love your videos! (And you've been making me want to build a TSI so bad!!!) - thank you so much for all the great content.
Awesome video!
I think I would opt for the extra tanks so I could fill up with mogas and not have to refuel as often, since it isn't available at a lot of airports. You could probably make a round trip without refueling for certain trips.
That's so cool! It's really interesting to see how these things are built. Thanks!
Am proud man! Keep living, doing & inspiring
This was really cool. This video would be a great teaching tool for use in ground school. Think of how many are flying without an awareness of air frame structure.
Looking good can't wait to se the finished plane.
Can't wait to see the finished product Mike.😀
Mate when this is all finished, I cannot wait to see you massive smile.
why the thumbs down. i love your vids. i live in atl aswell. my dream is to design and build my own plane
Great video. In regards to the fuel tanks, do those get sealed before riveting? It was really cool to see the control mechanism for the ailerons and flaps. Keep up the great videos Mike!
Hey Mike, congrats on your plane I''m excited for you! So I have a few questions, does the manufacturer offer suggestions about build support programs, or how do you find them? Also, you mentioned in another of your videos that you travel from Georgia to California. Knowing that Florida is big in general aviation and driving distance from you, what led you to choose a builder in California? And last, it would be cool to see a video of your color paint design.
So for those that don’t do the build assist is there a process for inspecting your work? If there were any defects or problems with the rivets it could be the difference between the plane being safe and airworthy or not.
So cool
Nice !
Any rust protection applied before final assembly?
It looks very nicely made. My question from the UK is how about corrosion? Is it a higher spec. aluminium sheeting that does not have corrosion problems? Here in the UK most Socata aircraft like Rallye 150ST (now quite an old design) have that problem. Many have had remedial work done, years after manufacture, including spraying internally where possible with solvents carrying wax based inhibitors. Some older Cessnas have this treatment too. Wouldn't now be the perfect time, (before you rivet the skins in place,) to corrosion proof what you can?
Very best of luck with the build. I will watch keenly.
We are spraying internally after we paint
hey Mike i don’t mean to invade privacy or anything an you don’t have to respond if you don’t want to, but i was wondering if you were just in Sacramento because i saw somone just like you with a car just like yours. but for real dude i’m so exited for this to be done. keep up the good work
😄 could be my twin. I'm based in the east coast.
MojoGrip oh okay😁i’m loving the plane so far by the way
What material or process is used to seal the fuel tanks?
We use CHEMSEAL B2 TANK SEALANT CS3204 A great product in that it is already in a canister that fits into a caulking gun and already has the correctly measured hardner within, a very clever system.

How you sealed the fuel tank? Please answer me
😮😮😮 oh man she'll be in the air before you know it
That's James Harden bro (scroll to the 10:00)? (left handed, the beard,..).... He's building airplanes now? .. your sling airplane is definitelly gonna be a Rocket :) .. And what a Rocket! A Houston Rocket !!!!! :)))
Looks some like him but that's the Max Maxwell whose channel is linked in the description.
Whoohoo!! It's coming together? Heading to Sling (Torrance) on Wednesday. I can't wait to see your baby in progress. Go Mojo Mike Go!!
so I'll ask again...after you match drill components, do you de-bur the holes?...if not why not as EVERY other aluminum homebuilt I've seen says to de-bur all drilled holes...
Hi John, good question, The Sling kit is CNC punched with regularly sharpened tooling, leaving a very clean hole without a bur.and all holes are already the correct size. The match drilling removes very little if any material and so de-burring is generally not required. The reason we 'match drill' is to remove any tension in the skin that could cause oil canning.
Mike, no primer?
Mike
You let Max Maxwell work on your plane?!
Yea. We had enough work to go around 😊
MojoGrip I’ve learned from both of you. Keep up the great work! And thanks for taking CZcams along for the ride.
4 Da Utube algorithm!
Really enjoyed the wings detail and fuel tanks. It’s cool to see the inside structure. I’m proud of you. You put a lot of energy into your flying and videos.
Thank you!
I wish everyone will use regular tanks like diamond does (czcams.com/video/HXck2JK-9sk/video.html). I have seen videos of fuel leaking from the wings. Wings flex a lot all the time. It seems to me that a much better solution will be to use a completely independent tank instead of the wings.
Х.л.👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mike. I love your videos but would really like to see less talking and more actual building. I would love to see more of the actual building process.
Is there any anti-corrosion added?
That's the next part.
I bet getting your A&P would be easy given how much experience you have constructing your aircraft.
? Say what?
Mike didn't build it - the "build assist" workers did
ok now its gonna be a great airplane i hate you now lol jk jk im disabled and im looking into finishing my pilots license i need to find some assistance help in financing the rest of my hours im putting my son through school he just got back from afganistan hes a purple heart veteran so i dont have enough funding for both im so very happy for you enjoy a great airplane see you on the next update
I'm beginning to question the intelligence of people who work this closely together and don't wear masks. Haven't you seen what happens to the employees in meat and poultry processing factories who work in close proximity without personal protection equipment?
Are you watching the same video as the rest of us? Get real.
@@navynuc1 Yes, I am. These guys are working right next to each other without any PPE. That is really irresponsible. What world do you live on. Do you not know how this virus spreads? You need to "get real".
Cliff At some point in our lives we have to move on as we can't live in fear of EVERYTHING that goes bump in the night. You're watching too much CNN bullcrap.
Are you speaking of how you were misinformed that the Rona spread or facts?
Cliff Meadows you can keep you damn mask on even when you take a shower if that makes you more comfortable ... but when it comes to others ... get lost
How and what are you using to sealing the fuel tanks?
Hi Robert, we use CHEMSEAL B2 TANK SEALANT CS3204 A great product in that it is already in a canister that fits into a caulking gun and already has the correctly measured hardner within, a very clever system.
