The Sling TSi Kit is the airplane Sling fans have been waiting for. All of the style, economy and practical utility of the Sling 4, but with more SPEED! Harnessing the power of the Rotax 915iS or the all new Rotax 916iS turbo-charged, fuel-injected and FADEC engine, the Sling TSi maintains the quiet, comfortable and smooth ride with an extra dose of horsepower.
The Sling TSi features an all-new high speed wing design: optimized for the power and weight of the aircraft. The leading edge of the wing is flush-riveted for low drag. The forward fuselage and empennage are also flush-riveted. The landing gear is airfoiled, low-drag wheel pants incorporated and there is a new cowling design.
The interior, seating, ventilation and heating are improved for passenger comfort and luxury.
Although the Sling TSi shares a similar appearance and the distinctive “Sling attitude” with the Sling 4, it only shares about 20% parts in common. It is a completely new aircraft, with different design goals than the Sling 4. The main result of these changes is SPEED.

Great illustration content....the best I have seen. I would like to be a owner of Sling TSI one day... but at least I have your content to fall back on... Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@TheBaldPilot]

Thank you very much for the kind words! And thank you for watching!

[@patrikj]

While having the pumps close to the tanks seems like a good idea, the sensor on the fuel selector seems like it adds the potential for new faults. What happens if that sensor fails, is there a way to manually control which pump runs? Are there bypasses on these pumps so the engine can continue to run if they fail?

[@TheBaldPilot]

Yes there is an override switch for the selector. The pressure sensor monitors that as well. And the pumps default to gravity flow, as a typical boost pumps. Great questions! Thanks for watching!

What sort of service interval do you envisage for the filter? Do you need to just remove the access plate or is it too tight to get in to replace?

[@TheBaldPilot]

@@petereedy8252 Hey Peter. The service interval is 100hr/1yr. The filter is relatively coarse, so the element can be removed and cleaned of any debris then re-installed without needing to change out the entire assembly. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@petereedy8252]

@@TheBaldPilot thanks mate, just been told that my QB High wing should leave SA for AU end of June. I’ve got lots to learn, your videos have been great, thanks for all effort.

[@TheBaldPilot]

@@petereedy8252 Very exciting!

[@derekradcliffe3313]

Is this in addition to the fuel pumps on the firewall or did you remove those fuel pumps Since you have these on the wings?

[@TheBaldPilot]

This is in addition to. Boosting the current fuel system.

[@jeremyolney8316]

G'day Rob.. love what your sharing mate... I probably would have used a spring inside that little tube to bend it.. and I would have taken it off the tank first.. I'm loving your work and have been making notes for when i commence my build in australia. Hopefully next year.

[@TheBaldPilot]

@@jeremyolney8316 Good tip! I've worked with 3/8" aluminum fuel lines previously, so I am familiar with its malleability. But I could have done a better job for the video. Thanks for watching!

Love your work. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany and all the best for you. Chris
