It would be helpful if the list included type, metal, size, part # (995, 994, etc.) and ball park quantity needed total.

Sling TSi Engine mounting

Question: Now that my kit is in route, I'm planning the Engine ordering. Barry from Torrance indicated I can order from my local Rotax Service center but that I have to note that the Inter-cooler is installed differently from the stock engines to fit the TSi cowling.

Re: Booster fuel pump question?

This is the response from Barry at The Airplane Factory USA, Torrance: Yes, there is a 3rd boost pump that ensures fuel pressure even if the other two pumps should fail.

Booster fuel pump question?

Re: Experimental airplane preferred Ownership

Yeah, that's what I had in mind, some layer or protection for anonymity and liability. Not taxes or insurance savings. I read that some guy had a small jet in an LLC, so the IRS would treat him as a business, with all the "Commercial" licensee requirements etc So I don't know what is the b...

Experimental airplane preferred Ownership

I will start building my own Sling TSi soon (I hope), was wondering what would be the preferred ownership vehicle once its completed? Own it and Register it under my name or form an LLC and have it under the LLC? I have seen several recommendations against the LLC way, but these where for Jets and o...

Re: Suggestions & Improvements
