Sling TSi in Cocoa, FL
Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:07 am
Hello group! I've been active in the facebook group for a few years, but finally pulled the trigger and found a good deal on a partly completed kit. I'll be working on the wings and empennage over the next few months, and hopefully starting the remainder of the build early next year.
I've been interested in aviation for my entire life, but led life thinking I couldn't get a medical, so never really pursued it until a few years ago and got it. Hopefully I'll be able to have my private checkride in a few weeks and be able to use it!
I spent 5 years living in Torrance before moving to Florida a year ago, and fell in love with the sleek looking Slings while plane-watching from my apartment, now get to stare at the same thing in my garage! I was kicking around an RV-10, and there are several local builders, but after taking the EAA sheet metal workshop, I realized I didn't want to drive 20,000 rivets, I'd much rather pull them instead. That, along with the fact that it's a more modern plane and complete kit made up my mind for me.
I'll likely post a blog link in the coming weeks, I'm still building that up. As a project manager by profession, I'm mostly going to be using JIRA to track the build, but hoping to use APIs to push updates from JIRA to Wordpress automatically. If anyone wants more info on how I'm using JIRA, more than happy to help out there.
