Re: Sling TSi - Austin, TX
@Tahoebob - definitely feel free to look me up. With any luck I'll be flying by March. I don't know if I'll be through the phase testing yet but I'll be around. Down at the other end of the metro area (Centennial) Aaron Stampa (I'll let him know to check in here) has been taking folks up for a demo ...

Re: Sling TSi - Austin, TX
I do believe Vans will pull through. IMHO they're kinda in the "too big to fail" category. The pricing is going probably be a bit fluid over the next year or so before they stabilize. The SlingTsi to me is a really good balance in everything... room (it's not the biggest, but it's not the ...

Re: Sling TSi - Austin, TX
Welcome to the forum!
I think the Van's conversion to Sling has been in the back of a few of our minds (at least it has mine). Was it the price or availability that caused the change?
I think you'll find the Sling build to be MUCH easier than the RV.

Re: How much part cleaning and primer to order?
@Greg - no worries on the primer part. It took me a while to realize, but I finally arrived at the conclusion that if you wanted to start a really serious bar fight with a bunch of pilots is to walk in and exclaim "no one should ever build an airplane with/without priming!" and then run aw...

Re: Hello from Seattle Washington
Hi FlyBy, Thanks for joining us as well as congrats on the PPL (3 months late)! With only 90hrs of flying (so far) that's still pretty early to be making a commitment to building an airplane that I'm going to wager a guess you haven't ever flown in. I would definitely recommend flying a few other di...

Re: How much part cleaning and primer to order?
Hi Greg, Flat builder here. One gallon of the simple green should work for the whole kit with the normal dilution levels recommended on the bottle. I don't think I've gone through all of mine still and I'm hopefully rolling to the airport here in the next month or so. As for the primer, I bought I t...

Re: Beringer brakes
I'm surprised this one slipped by me... I did a video on the Beringer wheels/brakes at https://youtu.be/cI6oqFv7eMg?si=wYuQbv1Zd2IWlnua There are a couple of items to note which can really complicate things quickly, so be prepared for a little extra work if you go this route. I don't know if Sling h...

Re: Discord for Sling?
IMHO the traffic is already quite fractured. Based on what I have been able to see, Facebook is the predominant source of real time data and quite a few folks reference there alone for help. I'm not on Facebook so it makes it challenging for me when I have questions that I'd like to interact with so...

Re: Interior overhead lighting
They may have come from MWPB. That part of the inventory is sorta fuzzy for me because I had a lot of different things underway by the time I got to that box. Edward should be able to confirm if they are included with the kit or if MWPB supplies them. Either way it's best and easiest to just ask. :)
