Sling Pilots Forum

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...

In Sweden, EAA Sweden has an agreement with an insurer for planes flown by EAA members. $1.5M liability coverage is about $230/year, hull insurance $800/year for $100k coverage with $5k deductible. That seems extremely cheap by US standards. Unfortunately it seems the hull coverage is capped at $10...

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 ...

Sounds like we found similar solutions for the problem.

The fun part is I’m very close to not having any rivets left to pull…

With the XT2 it has all the rivet heads needed for the build. I haven't needed to order anything extra. Just don't loose them!

Oh cool - it's not just me where the rivets jam... :) In watching the hour long tour on YT of the Sling factory in SA one of the guys giving the tour said there as a little north of 22,000 rivets. That seems awfully high to me. But yes - the Milwaukee is more than adequate to build one of these plan...

How was the install process? Pretty straight forward?

I'm not going to put my heater on until after I fly off the test hours as I don't want to mess too much with that process until then.
