Weight & Balance AFT CG Concerns
SLING TSI - Weight & Balance (W&B) Concerns🤓 I haven't bought nor built my Sling yet but while planning & reading all the manuals, I created an Excel Spreadsheet to run various W&B examples. It works perfectly, matches exactly the POH examples, and it warns me immediately if any weig...

Re: Sling TSi Builder in San Diego
Evan, I raise my hat to you!!! Your videos very extremely informative, and highlighted important deficiencies in the build instructions. Like you, I am a perfectionist and since I will soon be retired, I will have all the time to do things right. WELL DONE PAL!
