Sling TSI Builder, Tallahassee, FL

Post by Fly-Fla »

So I pulled the trigger today on a Sling TSI kit. I will be counting the days and I’m sure tracking ships and such as time drags on waiting for delivery. I’ve loved aviation my entire life but couldn’t swing lessons until I was in my 40’s. Finally have the kids out of the house and decided it was time to build exactly what I wanted. I saw the Sling 2 at Sun N Fun many years ago and have been keeping an eye on them ever since. I’m working on a web page to track my progress and will link it here when its up and running.

Definitely welcome welcome! I put my deposit down in September of last year and am anxiously awaiting mine. I've found the best use of time between order and arrival is getting organized so when things show up you can jump right in. :)

My hangar is at Baker Sky Ranch (18FD Private Grass strip air park) just West of you down I-10 a short distance (assuming your really at Tallahassee FL), Baker is off the Crestview I-10 Exit and then north-west of Crestview.

I would love to come down and see how it’s going. I’ll reach out later this month and see if there is some time when you wouldn’t mind me stopping by.

I’m still waiting on an updated estimate, but the first guess was October. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve still got some work to do building another work table and getting the garage finished, but I’ll sure be ready long before October.

I'd budget at least a year to get the kit. COVID is slowing a lot of stuff down including shipping.
