Re: Suggestions & Improvements
Thanks but no thanks. I don’t need more emails. I want to simply go to the forum when I can, and then select a link (button). And see the new forum posts I haven’t seen.

Re: Grass strips?
Im building my TSI on a Grass strip and have flown my Cherokee PA28-180 from this srip for 6 years with wheel pants, have had No Issues. Only thing I recommend is to keep the tires inflated and grass mowed good, Im sure if the grass got too long it would start geeting trimmed by the wheel pants. Cecil

Re: Sign up for the Wednesday 17 March EAA Sling Webinar
Answer I believe is it would be more of a new aircraft vs a modification, and for a company the question would be is their a market big enough for this néw plane to make it a cost effective development. But you could have a close to 200 MPH 2 seat aircraft with the right design and a 915 engine usin...

Re: Sign up for the Wednesday 17 March EAA Sling Webinar
Not sure where but I was told if you put the 915 on the Sling 2 the extra power would allow you to easily exceed it’s design flight envelope. Worry is aerodynamic’s and flutter. So you (or your data recorder) would be able to provide feedback on just where the control flutter starts. Of course you c...

If you read the fine print the TSI listed gross weight matches with the emergency parachute listed max recovery weight. So I'm estimating that any aircraft weight over that gross weight as long as it's inside the CG envelope would only result in a increased sink rate if you deployed the parachute. W...
