“I don’t like that, I’m going to go around “ That statement is the wisest thing you or anyone can say

[@kingcoreyair]

I think he decided to go around very early somewhere still by the threshhold. That runway was super long. I think he could've easily decended and put it down. His 2nd approach was no different from the 1st and he landed. But I agree with you when in doubt go around no doubt.

[@michaelksiezopolski]

Congratulations Mike, It's a great achievement. It is cool to build and fly your own plane. I do hope You are enjoying flying it!

[@AshtonCoolman]

YES!!! We've all been waiting for this one. I see you saved this for the new year. Thanks for helping us start the year off right.

[@YourFriendlyGApilot]

Love it! Can't wait for it to be me! Mike > can you show the color scheme for the switches on your panel? I think i saw green, black, and some red ones? Which switch is which color?

[@YourFriendlyGApilot]

Congratulations Mike, Have followed you for a long time and I have witnessed how hard have you been working to grow as a pilot, an entrepreneur, and a family man, and the best is yet to come!

[@4xoverland]

This is so exciting. A new plane! I'll be there in about a year.

[@cjl108]

And worlds collide, an overlander and an over”the”lander...my two passions as well.

[@lawesosah9214]

Well if it isn't my favorite overlander. Hi Andrew!

[@musclemania30]

Davidson County isn’t far from me in Durham NC! I hope NC was kind to you.

[@ShauryeChakravarty]

King, your landings are for yourself. Don't judge your landings, and don't let anybody comment on them either. We fly for ourselves.

[@uribearnold]

Mike this is wonderful, we are there enjoying it with you. May God allow you get always the best of it.

[@fbidawi]

You are an inspiration to many young people. Keep up the good work my friend!!

[@larrysouthern5098]

She looks good flying...fingertip flying....the only way to fly!!!!! CONGRADULATIONS on a great build!!!!....

[@noeramirez4975]

So happy see you enjoying your Sling, thanks for your coments and descriptions of the airplane. And Nice Landings!!!!

Good to see you airborne. She's so spacious!

[@ryanharris9585]

Too happy for you, Mike!

[@mojogrip]

Thanks Ryan

[@shawndavis9349]

The more you fly it, the more comfortable you will be with the speed and such when landing. She is a nice looking plane!!!

[@Skywatchers]

I love these damn videos! Keep up the dream. If I can’t do mine, I can atleast watch you do yours!!!! 🤘

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Nice ride man!

[@mojogrip]

Thanks!

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice to see you and your aircraft getting personal. Take Care.

[@g.t.g1111]

WOW!! ✈️ CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 Fly Man Fly!! 🛩

[@CLdriver1960]

CONGRATS! Blue skies and tailwinds.

[@mrmushin1]

For reason seeing brother Fly inspires me to pursue it when I am older

[@steini6771]

Proud of you and all your friends that helped you with the build. Congrats and have a great 2021 -

[@alankalaf2743]

The two camera angles you chose to make this video are great. Simple yet effective.

[@eliudm472]

Congratulations Moja. Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@homomorphic]

I'm from Manitoba where uncontrolled airport always meant no other traffic. I called out all my positions over and over many times and no one ever heard them as far as I know (maybe there was some guy who I didn't see with a broken radio that could receive but couldn't transmit :-). So weird to watch a US uncontrolled airport where there's actually someone else to hear. Congratulations on your beautiful plane Mike!

[@bradleylandreth3562]

I just did my first solo at Davidson last month. Cool to see you out there man. I’ve been following your videos for a while. Come say hey if you ever see a teal RV6-A. N121DS. I actually saw another sling that was orange a couple weeks ago at KEXX and pointed it out to my instructor. Fly safe.

[@wirlybird997]

Now I've had my fix , you look very relaxed , just keep on practising you'll get it right. Keep the videos rolling , enjoy.

[@dwayneharris3874]

Congratulations on your new plane, Mike! The Sling seems to be a very efficient aircraft. Enjoy!

[@kellytrimble4120]

Stall warning! I'm glad you said that. I am sitting here working and watching KZbin videos with a bunch of equipment monitoring equipment behind my desk and that beeping started and I was immediately up out of my chair trying to figure out which peice of equipment in the building was melting down or blowing up. Great airmanship BTW !!!

[@ajc3185]

I’m not a pilot, but have been following your whole build. So psyched for you! You’ve done an awesome job of making this dream seem attainable for any of us

[@benderandownz]

Rock on! I'm really happy for you, loads of hard work finally paid off!

[@thomaswilson3437]

I know you are thrilled, and that’s a nice looking aircraft.

[@MSymons]

Thank you for sharing your whole experience. You’ve inspired me to go back and finish my PPL.

[@CaffeineGeek]

Beautiful plane! Thank you for letting us ride along.

[@Kolbra2004]

Mike, you worked hard for this and now you are flying it. Good for you man! Living your dream ...

[@shevetlevi2821]

Way to go Mike. Beautiful job. May your skies always be CAVU, and your Lycoming always run smooth. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@wirlybird997]

Mike you giving me withdrawal symptoms I've gotten so used to watch your plane being built I so wanted to see you enjoy flying it. Will watch it now , so all is forgiven. I wish you many safe flying hours, I know you going to have a great time. Can't wait to see what you get up too in this beautiful plane. Beat of luck.

[@JLKnolla]

So very happy for you Mike, enjoy that machine and the freedom it brings!

[@tonym3675]

🤗 Awww yes. Finally Ty Mike. Great job from building to this.

[@motoacker]

Love the warbird look with the full silver! Congratulations, man. You Deserve It!

[@TheFlyer1984]

Congrats, I knew this day would come. You earned it man. So happy for you. Enjoy ✈️

[@darrylpaul7017]

[@c.j.6891]

[@homertalk]

Much Congratulations!!

[@rickdeckard7470]

Awesome to see you finally fly your sling .. congrats 👏

[@Ant-ls2pr]

Smooth operator! Well done Mojo. Love how you keep the takeoff flap in for the whole climb. Sweeeet machine!

[@soulcapitalist6204]

Think about it Mike. You could have been a dork with a couple Lamborghinis instead. Congratulations on the beautiful coach and thank you for taking us along on the whole journey. You have vanquished one of the toughest years in flight history.

[@servicarrider]

I couldn;t be happier for you. Living the dream, my friend.

[@okcpicker]

What an aircraft! Pilot skills ain't too shabby either. Well done Mike!

[@jeromes5141]

Nice landings Mojo. I remembered my 1st landing in my M20C back in September. I was nervous as hell, but somehow I greased the landing. I got over confident after that landing as the 2nd and 3rd got worst so decided that was enough for the day. Low wings are pretty slippery, fortunately I have speed brakes to help me slow down as needed. Congrats on the plane again👍👊.

[@michellonergan8517]

Bravo ! take your time and thank you for shearing your learning curve. You are flying one of you dream respect.

[@billyjones4074]

Congratulations on your new plane . Be safe and enjoy your travels.

[@1950harleycharley]

Such a beautiful little bird! And thx for not being too proud that you could have done things differently.

[@dougiemcguire5627]

Very much enjoyed watching!! Nice flying! My first solo was in a 1946 Luscombe 8A, I made a go -around. As long as you have the engine you're never committed to a landing.

[@stewartw.9151]

You built a great performer of an airplane and the pilot ain't too shabby either! Congratulations and much great flying ahead!

[@robertATC60]

Congrats on great airplane! Nice job with go around

[@flyingwithjohn7243]

[@teslaphil973]

Happy to see the plane is done and you finally get to fly it.

[@Skiridr22]

That was a perfect touchdown 👍🏾

[@justjivin9699]

Congratulations Mike!!! So happy to see you and your beautiful bird getting to know one another. 😄 I didn’t know you came around my way. If you ever have plans to come back please let me know, I would love to come down to KEXX and meet you and her in person! Take care

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Nice ride, my friend!! Always talking in the pattern, great job keeping your position in the open for others. Greetings from Maine. Fly it up here sometime and have some lobster !

[@Skiridr22]

It’s amazing watching frm the beginning of the build to this. Congrats Mike I’m inspired 👍🏾👍🏾

[@8radeko]

Congrats Mike, looks incredibly vibration-free, solid build. Wishing you many happy years of flying:)

[@davidmullet1030]

Great job.congratulations,I know the feeling for first flight.

[@bryanspayde8688]

A fun flight for me was I bought my jabiru in 2020. In Northern California. And flew it thru the Rockies!, nothin like light sport aircraft at 13500. For a bit . 2100 mile cross country. What a good time .

[@breckmst]

Congratulations Mike thanks for sharing

[@devildogkilo]

Many Congratulations on the new aircraft!!! Looking forward to seeing future videos on maintenance and operating cost. 🥂

[@SOAxZIPPER]

[@keithradford4683]

Sorry, Mike last comment aimed at Andrew who has a 4 x 4 channel.. Great channel by the way... Your bird looks really great and really well done. You are going to love it..I’ve been very luck to have had James and Andrew Pittman from the Aircraft Factory land on my strip for a airshow in Zambia a couple times and we have been in coms now for many years and have followed there developments with great interest..

[@fredpinczuk7352]

Congrats Mike, well deserved. Safe travels.

[@nickhart5332]

That thing climbs like crazy! 😎

[@michaelsipah]

Congratulations again Mike. 661MG sounds great on the radios

[@cesarquintana9034]

Great job Mike. Enjoy her.

[@dutchbrotherfan1284]

You are to be commended for your efforts sir. Fly safe !

[@rorymartin329]

Those were some smooth landings! Thanks for the video.

[@lancewilliams5726]

So awesome my brother, I will join you next year when I get my sling tsi

[@brianmorrison1344]

Congrats on the build..

[@wannewan4318]

Great job brother live your dream I am trying to live mine just like you god bless you and your family

[@smulktis]

Daaammnn, that is a beautiful plane mang. Congratulations!! Yo and thank you for the great content. Always enjoy your vids.

[@EdwardHefter]

Mazel tov, Mike!!! So awesome to see your bird in flight. I like that you have specific goals for each practice flight (like staying on the centerline) - much better than just flying with no real goal. And the go-around is one of the most important techniques that too few people use. It’s almost never a mistake. Many happy years of flying, Mike, in this and any other plane you build or buy.

[@adamshartley]

So badass congratulations man. Beautiful ride love the color. Keep the blue side up and stay safe man.

[@zackcannon2985]

Hey that's my hometown airport! So cool to see you here man, still in the area?
