Re: TPMS

I picked up this TPMS on AliEpress. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255801129138198.html? I bought the one for a Trike FRR. You can mount the display in the plane if you want.

Re: External Alternator - 2 Reasons why

Hi everyone. Here are a few photos of the external alternator modified cowl that Bertus sent me awhile back. Lets hope you can see them as this is my 4th attempt at posting them. LOL. The mod looks pretty clean and is nowhere as large as I thought it would be. https://imgur.com/jGT8Hx9 https://imgur...

Re: New Sling TSI builder in upstate New York

Your math is right. You end up with about 72 gallons of useable fuel.

Re: New Sling TSI builder in upstate New York

Cluemeister,

I contacted Bertus in South Africa an asked him about the tank capacity. He said they recently upgraded the standard wing tank to 99 liters vs the old 88 liter size. So all the new planes get an extra 5.8 gallons. There is my new 45 minute reserve.

New Sling TSI builder in upstate New York

Hi all,

My name is Chris Fortin and I live in Mexico, NY, located at the South East end of Lake Ontario. I recently ordered The Sling TSI kit with a couple of the options - long range fuel tanks and the external alternator. I'm going to be building at home and can't wait to get started.
