Re: Sling TSi - Northeast Iowa

Good morning,

Fear not, that's what i'm doing too. Building kit by kit as we can afford. In my garage. Build the empennage, then go to the fuselage, do that wings last. The fuselage, and associated stuff is 75% of the build. You don't need the wings till last.

Re: Large crack in Main Landing Gear

Just my 0.02 cents worth... YES, absolutely ground the aircraft. Then immediately email that pic and description to Sling Technical, Barry, Edward, Jean.
