Mojosling is officially airborne. Passed all phase tests with flying colors. It was time for me to transition into this beautiful new airplane (A 2020 Sling Tsi). Thank you to all of you who have followed me through the journey of building the airplane. Now it's time to go flying.
I did my first solo flight the aircraft by going around the pattern at an uncontrolled airport. The goal for this flight was to work on some landing also my communication skills over the radio. My solo flight was successful and many more to come. Thanks for watching!

“I don’t like that, I’m going to go around “
That statement is the wisest thing you or anyone can say
I think he decided to go around very early somewhere still by the threshhold. That runway was super long. I think he could've easily decended and put it down. His 2nd approach was no different from the 1st and he landed. But I agree with you when in doubt go around no doubt.
Congratulations Mike, It's a great achievement. It is cool to build and fly your own plane. I do hope You are enjoying flying it!
YES!!! We've all been waiting for this one. I see you saved this for the new year. Thanks for helping us start the year off right.
Love it! Can't wait for it to be me!
Mike > can you show the color scheme for the switches on your panel? I think i saw green, black, and some red ones? Which switch is which color?
Ha, didn't even notice i somehow posted it as a response to you!!! Lol, this year is off to a great start..!!
Congratulations Mike, well done, a rare achievement 👍👍

Man, this was the exact video I was waiting for (after all the teasers) thank you for uploading It's like living your dream through the lens, congratulations Mike!
Greetings from Mexico.
Congratulations Mike, Have followed you for a long time and I have witnessed how hard have you been working to grow as a pilot, an entrepreneur, and a family man, and the best is yet to come!
This is so exciting. A new plane! I'll be there in about a year.
And worlds collide, an overlander and an over”the”lander...my two passions as well.
Well if it isn't my favorite overlander. Hi Andrew!
Davidson County isn’t far from me in Durham NC! I hope NC was kind to you.
Too happy for you, Mike!
Thanks Ryan
Mike this is wonderful, we are there enjoying it with you. May God allow you get always the best of it.
Good to see you airborne. She's so spacious!
King, your landings are for yourself. Don't judge your landings, and don't let anybody comment on them either. We fly for ourselves.
WOW!! ✈️ CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
Fly Man Fly!! 🛩
Proud of you and all your friends that helped you with the build. Congrats and have a great 2021 -
Rock on! I'm really happy for you, loads of hard work finally paid off!
Amazing video man. Glad to see the Mojo Sling up in the air. Can’t wait to see all the new content and adventures.
Hi Mike
I am Grant from Johannesburg South Africa.
I have followed you on this build and I would like to congratulate you on your completion of your Sling TSI.
Have lots of great fun flying your plane and keep safe.
Regards
Grant
The more you fly it, the more comfortable you will be with the speed and such when landing. She is a nice looking plane!!!
For reason seeing brother Fly inspires me to pursue it when I am older
Thank you for sharing your whole experience. You’ve inspired me to go back and finish my PPL.
You are an inspiration to many young people. Keep up the good work my friend!!
🤗 Awww yes. Finally Ty Mike. Great job from building to this.
Congrats, I knew this day would come. You earned it man. So happy for you. Enjoy ✈️
Now I've had my fix , you look very relaxed , just keep on practising you'll get it right. Keep the videos rolling , enjoy.
So very happy for you Mike, enjoy that machine and the freedom it brings!
Congratulations on your new plane, Mike! The Sling seems to be a very efficient aircraft. Enjoy!
Much Congratulations!!
Finally, the video I was waiting for. Congrats!
Stall warning! I'm glad you said that. I am sitting here working and watching CZcams videos with a bunch of equipment monitoring equipment behind my desk and that beeping started and I was immediately up out of my chair trying to figure out which peice of equipment in the building was melting down or blowing up. Great airmanship BTW !!!
Congratulations Mike! Awesome....so happy to see up in the air! Enjoy every minute of it.....woohoo
Nice ride man!
Thanks!
She looks good flying...fingertip flying....the only way to fly!!!!! CONGRADULATIONS on a great build!!!!....
It’s amazing watching frm the beginning of the build to this. Congrats Mike I’m inspired 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm from Manitoba where uncontrolled airport always meant no other traffic. I called out all my positions over and over many times and no one ever heard them as far as I know (maybe there was some guy who I didn't see with a broken radio that could receive but couldn't transmit :-).
So weird to watch a US uncontrolled airport where there's actually someone else to hear.
Congratulations on your beautiful plane Mike!
I couldn;t be happier for you. Living the dream, my friend.
Smooth operator! Well done Mojo. Love how you keep the takeoff flap in for the whole climb. Sweeeet machine!
Congratulations Moja. Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Daaammnn, that is a beautiful plane mang. Congratulations!! Yo and thank you for the great content. Always enjoy your vids.
Mike, you worked hard for this and now you are flying it. Good for you man! Living your dream ...
I love these damn videos! Keep up the dream. If I can’t do mine, I can atleast watch you do yours!!!! 🤘
I’m not a pilot, but have been following your whole build. So psyched for you! You’ve done an awesome job of making this dream seem attainable for any of us
Congratulations Mike!👍
CONGRATS! Blue skies and tailwinds.
Mike you giving me withdrawal symptoms I've gotten so used to watch your plane being built I so wanted to see you enjoy flying it. Will watch it now , so all is forgiven. I wish you many safe flying hours, I know you going to have a great time. Can't wait to see what you get up too in this beautiful plane. Beat of luck.
I know you are thrilled, and that’s a nice looking aircraft.
The two camera angles you chose to make this video are great. Simple yet effective.
Many Congratulations on the new aircraft!!! Looking forward to seeing future videos on maintenance and operating cost. 🥂
Nice landings Mojo. I remembered my 1st landing in my M20C back in September. I was nervous as hell, but somehow I greased the landing. I got over confident after that landing as the 2nd and 3rd got worst so decided that was enough for the day. Low wings are pretty slippery, fortunately I have speed brakes to help me slow down as needed. Congrats on the plane again👍👊.
So happy see you enjoying your Sling, thanks for your coments and descriptions of the airplane. And Nice Landings!!!!
Awesome to see you finally fly your sling .. congrats 👏
Bravo ! take your time and thank you for shearing your learning curve. You are flying one of you dream respect.
Nice to see you and your aircraft getting personal. Take Care.
Congrats Mike, enjoy your new airplane!
Congratulations Mike thanks for sharing
Great job.congratulations,I know the feeling for first flight.
Way to go Mike. Beautiful job. May your skies always be CAVU, and your Lycoming always run smooth. Enjoy and stay safe.
Congratulations Mike. You saved the best for 2021! Fly safe brother and enjoy.
Congrats! I bet that is a totally awesome feeling. Blue skies and safe flights
From one Mike to another....great video man!! Can't wait for more!!
Nice ride, my friend!! Always talking in the pattern, great job keeping your position in the open for others. Greetings from Maine. Fly it up here sometime and have some lobster !
Love the warbird look with the full silver! Congratulations, man. You Deserve It!
I’m so proud of you. it’s been a great journey.
That was a perfect touchdown 👍🏾
Man I admire this so much!! Enjoy this beautiful plane man
So badass congratulations man. Beautiful ride love the color. Keep the blue side up and stay safe man.
Beautiful plane! Thank you for letting us ride along.
Mazel tov, Mike!!! So awesome to see your bird in flight. I like that you have specific goals for each practice flight (like staying on the centerline) - much better than just flying with no real goal. And the go-around is one of the most important techniques that too few people use. It’s almost never a mistake. Many happy years of flying, Mike, in this and any other plane you build or buy.
Lesson in perseverance think big or go home. Thanks Mike you have been an inspiration. Congratulations
Congratulations Mike, a great effort to achieve this.
Best wishes and enjoy the flying!!
Congratulations Mike ! 🎉✨ Plane looks Beautiful 🥰
The plane is beautiful! I wish you many flying miles in your future. How long have you had your license? You really inspire me to take lessons.
What an aircraft! Pilot skills ain't too shabby either. Well done Mike!
Simply AWESOME, Mike!!!
What a great milestone! Awesome! Fly safe
Congrats Mike, can't wait to see the adventures to come!
Congrats Mike! This is awesome!
Congratulations bro... welcome to Dar es salaam Tanzania
Nice Mike, Congrats, looking forward to the new adventures!
Think about it Mike. You could have been a dork with a couple Lamborghinis instead. Congratulations on the beautiful coach and thank you for taking us along on the whole journey. You have vanquished one of the toughest years in flight history.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!🎉🎉🎉
A fun flight for me was I bought my jabiru in 2020. In Northern California. And flew it thru the Rockies!, nothin like light sport aircraft at 13500. For a bit . 2100 mile cross country. What a good time .
Welcome back, nice plane!
Congrats Mike! A great accomplishment and now you can enjoy the fruit of your labor!
Dude, congratulations on your Sling! It looks great, the interior is awesome, but 2k fpm climb is amazing.
You've got a great story. Thank you for telling it. You're a great ambassador for aviation, bringing a different viewpoint with the same love for flying. Keep putting out great content.
Beautiful new wings you got mojo! I'm happy for you!
Congratulations. When you first said what colors you were using I was skeptical but wow it looks great.
I just did my first solo at Davidson last month. Cool to see you out there man. I’ve been following your videos for a while. Come say hey if you ever see a teal RV6-A. N121DS. I actually saw another sling that was orange a couple weeks ago at KEXX and pointed it out to my instructor. Fly safe.
Love the new plane! Congrats bro!
Big Congrats!!
Happy for you! Great job !
Nice job Mike. You are an inspiration for a lot of young folks out there.
