Sling Pilots Forum

Replying, but not much help. I think the person to ask is Henry at Midwest Sky Sports, or contact Beringer in South Carolina.

The Beringers on my plane were the hand brake type. Got used to it even though my previous plane was toe brakes!

My previous plane had the G3X units side by side. Loved it. My Tsi has the conventional G3X over each seat.

Other chute pros: - On resale, chute is a deal breaker for some buyers. - In the Cirrus world, chutes pulled above min. altitude have 100% survival success rate, hopefully that translates to Sling Tsi as well Con: - Must counter the chute weight to avoid rear CG issue, difficult to have 4 adults wit...
