Re: Interior overhead lighting

I just used the lighting that came with the kit... once the wires are run and I get the plane flying, if I want to try something else out I'll give that a swing. :)

Re: Sling TSI or Vans RV-14? Need help!

I suspect 10 months is on par from order to kit delivery time. I may have said it in another post, but Sling in SA is working hard to ramp things up, but 10 months is a pretty average industry delivery time these days. It definitely gives you time to get organized. Once you have an idea of what it t...

Re: MOSAIC and Sling TSi

So Mike was at Oshkosh this year and he said Sling would be working very closely with the FAA to get what they could out of MOSAIC with regards to their lineup. MOSAIC isn't set in stone yet - it's just out for comment, so there may be some changes still. If they aren't able to get the stall speed d...

Re: Sling TSI or Vans RV-14? Need help!

I haven't built anything Vans but I have been watching some of the builds quite closely. I can tell you the difference between what I've observed in the RV builds and the Tsi builds are night and day. I'm about 80% through my build. Very very few parts needed any deburring at all. I'm not exactly su...

Re: Is my Wing level?

So this is my take on your situation. Take it for what it's worth. Sling support will be a better source of guidance. Having built a couple of wings I feel like I have a good bead on the critical nature of the "levelness" of the table. I leveled out my table using a laser guide and I feel ...
