Possibly, but very unlikely

@@EvanBrunye Is Sling going to include some of your innovations/improvements into their Tsi kits?

@@scottwillson5562 thanks man, stoked I’ve been able to earn the opportunity. There’s no company out there I respect more than sling for their contributions to ga!

@@TrentonPalmer thanks man. She’s a bit hefty at 992, but you’d never know it with that engine!

@@EvanBrunyeoof, my O-320 STI weighs less than that. Shes a beaut though.

@@laurenvoigt1783 that’s fine, doesn’t perform like this though 😉

@@summerman2 times have changed

I am a bit curious where the asking price comes from. Beautiful plane, built well, with a trophy to back it all up....but Trent Palmer is asking $100k less than this, and people thought that was a piss take.

@@DS-vy5ph there are several people signed on currently for build-assist projects built to similar specs. Their all-in cost will be around $310-320k. This with a trophy and no 2 year wait period was priced accordingly. Trent’s was a 20 year old model 5 with a higher time 915 engine. He got what it’s worth, and this will sell for what it’s worth as well.

@@EvanBrunyehow is their all in cost 320k when you can buy a very comparable factory built Rans S21 which should have more value in material being , steel and aluminum skin with 2, 10” G3X’s an autopilot like yours and a GTN750XI for 270k?

Sounds reasonable enough to me. Best of luck with the sale, and whoever buys it will be very pleased I'm sure. Looking forward to the Sling adventure ​@@EvanBrunye

@@tds456 it’s a Kitfox clone

@@EvanBrunye Definitely not a clone. Many differences and multiple improvements, even over the latest and greatest Kitfox's. Factory is nearby the Sling factory. Call the guys for a flight. You won't be disappointed.

@@tds456 ok, I’ll grant you they’ve made some changes… but you can’t say it’s not a clone… even their name is a clone 😂

That’s weird, not sure if that’s happening to anyone else?

@@412fk super strange, still does it. something with my browser.

Moving to the engineering side of the industry, especially with Sling, is an absolute dream come true for me. Hopefully I'll be able to do more build videos in the future though, stay tuned!

@@EvanBrunye I will. I am happy to hear that your dream is coming true!

How much did you pay for it? Thank you!

Congratulations🙌

Gladly🤷🏻‍♂️

@@767driver this actually is that plane!

@@EvanBrunye Vergil informed me. Looks amazing. You did a fantastic job.

@@michaeladams9107 areplains r a mith

@@justindwyer3430 915.

@@EvanBrunye put the 915is sticker on it .

No chute.

@@patrikj no

@@EvanBrunye Thanks for letting me know. I'm going with "no priming" as well.

Thanks man! The aft baggage box on my Kitfox was a one-off, I CNC cut the aluminum but it was all mostly a rough draft that had to be hand worked to fit. Looks clean, serves its function well, but probably not worth it at the end of the day

I’m sure lots of people will be doing them soon, the kits really just started shipping a few months ago and are in full production now I believe

@@EvanBrunye I believe you’re right, but I have to stress “good”. Your builds are another level.

Thanks. 1- I considered it. Comes down to- no system is 100% efficient, so I wanted to avoid stacking inefficiencies. Electric compressors have a massive amp draw. 2- with ac off we weren’t seeing any noticeable difference in performance. Possible there was some performance loss, but not outside of a typical knot or two variation that always happens anyway

You can buy planes that aren’t kits , if that’s what you prefer. Go get air looks like a cool plane, but here’s the thing… It’s a KIT 😂 If you want the 2+2 it’s experimental, which means to get one in the US you’d have to do some sort of build assist with them. Which is exactly what these people are doing. Otherwise it’s just another 2 seat lsa…

@@EvanBrunye there are no spaces in the name. and it's not a kit, just not certified in usa, they are maybe waiting for mosaic

Kits allow certification under experimental category. This means you can remain flying instead of disassembling the entire airplane every year for annual "inspection" (regardless of how many hours it flew, even zero since overhaul this $5,000 maintenance catastrophe is mandated on every aircraft owner by FAA law).

@@EllipsisAircraft As I recall it's not that expensive if the plane works. Also you can just register it as experimental after it is factory made.

@@DanFrederiksen no you cant register a factory airplane as an experimental. Not unless it has experimental features. Then you are limited to test flying under conditions dictated by the FAA to test that feature. That is all. To fly it like a personal airplane while being experimental requires meeting "the 51% rule". I don't think you cognitively grasp the cost of factory certified airplanes. New 2024 Cessna 172 Skyhawks start at $400,000 base price.
