Taking off from Big Bear in a Sling TSi

This week, watch as our team travels to Big Bear in the Sling TSi for a performance demo. After arriving, Wayne hops in the back seats with Matt, allowing Shanay(potential buyer) to fly left seat with Jean. During the demo, the TSi climbs out from the airfield aggressively over the highest peak in a straight line, no circling. After a fun demo flight, the team runs into Dale, a Sling 4 owner. We were able to talk with him and get a peak at how he transports his mountain bike in the back seat of his plane.

I had the pleasure to fly with Jean. An amazing person. Gonna sell both my Mooneys and get me an STI.

You guys have all the fun!:-) I am still anxious to fly in the TSI. I will be back in a week for more Sling 2 time with Phil Stokes. SPA. Great instructors preparing you in a busy airspace environment, in modern planes. Real-world flight instruction from pilot to commercial. The online courses are excellent!

What is the flutter speed for the Sling TSI? 165TAS in straight and level is surprising.

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

Hy Tyler, Vne is 155 KIAS on the TSi. The elevator is mass-balanced and has been tested to a TAS well in excess of 165 TAS

[@tyler_russell]

Sling Pilot Academy thanks for the reply. Cool video.

[@iamMarkCole]

Unreal you can fit a MTB in a Sling 4?!

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

Yup. I actually put a mountain bike and 2 folding electric bikes in the back of my TSi once :)
