Sling Pilots Forum

While I have an engineering background, this is my first time building an airplane so I am being careful to only deviate from the instructions if I fully understand what I am doing (and then usually only after getting approval from the factory technical support group). The Sling team knows a lot mor...

When test fitting the flaps I found that it was still rubbing on the bottom of the rivets in the trailing edge of the skin supports even though I did shorten them per the instructions. I decided to replace those pulled rivets with solid o...

Here is what the factory's technical support told me: "It’s much easier to install the eyebolt before closing the aileron skin however it can still be installed afterwards with a socket and extension working through the holes in the rib. The split between the kits was done mainly for costing pu...
