Re: Sling 2 build / Midwest Sky Sports

Thread restart. My thoughts on the Sling 2? FREAKIN' AWESOME! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! 95 hours on Sling so far...less than 2 months since mid-march purchase(11 hours on it at that time). Just took Sling from KISM to KSEF to Lockwood Aviation for the Rotax recommended 100 hour inspection. NO ISSUE...

Re: Big Bore kit from Edge powersport

Masada is a bucket list if you haven't done it. The Masada mini-series from 1981 is worth viewing. I need to fly the Sling 2 over Masada...I'll work on that. I think a beefed-up 912ULS would make it a better experience! Here is a pic I took in 2017(which does not do justice to what you see when you ...

Thanks Bill! No, GTN 625...it is the 650 without radio control...I use G3X Touch for radio control. Dr...Amen! FastE...thanks for the invite! You live in beautiful country! We had to abandon our TN low-level due to bumps...and a hunger for blackened grouper in Destin. 1700'-300' (landing roll)=1400'...

Re: Sling 2 build / Midwest Sky Sports

I feel like a broken record...ANOTHER great day at MSS! Advanced handling ride first...great day to be upside-down! Run down to D95 (Lapeer) to have lemo jacks installed, formation flying to D95, jump back to KCFS. Tomorrow is the DAY! We are leaving Caro to take the long journey home to FL, with my...

Re: Sling 2 build / Midwest Sky Sports

Thanks Dr, but, at the risk of doing math in public in front of a Dr...it was only an average of 5.8 per day. --- Calculations and proofs: 11 hours on the Sling when I arrived plus the 29 hours I flew equals 40. 40 - 11 = 29 / 5 = 5.8 --- Happy tired! --- First up, I break the 25nm bubble I have bee...

Re: Sling 2 build / Midwest Sky Sports

32.0 hours now. Should finish the fly off tomorrow or Monday. Great day of snowy runways, high x-winds, max performance climb to 12,000, RNAV approaches, ...just an amazing bird.

Re: Sling 2 build / Midwest Sky Sports

ANOTHER great day at Midwest Sky Sports! Windy, gusty, rain, snow, marginal VFR, cold as crap, etc... SO, let's go fly! 3 flights and 3 more hours bringing the aircraft time to 28 hours of the 40 needed for FAA required fly off within 25 nm of KCFS. BTW, that is not a problem...many airports within ...
