Flying my Sling TSi w/IFR to Spring Training!

We pick up pop-up IFR Clearances flying to and from AZ for Dodgers Spring Training baseball.

While watching this video, I couldn’t help but notice the sunshade you’re using. One thing you might wanna look is a heat/UV repelling glass tint. There are some that do not hinder visibility through darkening, albeit repelling the heat and UV.

I've looked into it, just haven't followed through. Always ways to spend more money on these beauties. Thanks for watching and stay tuned... :)

Will be getting a Sling TSI hopefully later this year or early next year. Loved the video i am from Phoenix Metro myself

[@richardinthesky]

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the video. I’m excited for you to get your Sling. I’m so pleased with mine.

[@randya9810]

@@richardinthesky I’ll update you in the future…

Beautiful flight. The snow on the mountains is just absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure it's meant a lot of crazy weather. Fly well!

[@GyrocopterGirl]

Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us. It would be really nice to see how you pick up IFR clearance, how you load and activate the approach and just in general a better visual on the cockpit instruments that we can see some numbers (TAS, GS, wind, fuel burn etc.). Merry Christmas and blue skies and happy landings!

[@richardinthesky]

Thanks so much for the idea and for taking the journey with me! More to come...

Trapper with the ole "I forgot my credit card" routine after a free flight to the game! Lmao

[@richardinthesky]

Haha, right!? Thanks for watching. :)

Muncy my favorite Baylor player of all time!!!

[@dougwright111]

Enjoyed your “rode” trip to AZ! Congratulations on your new Sling! How extensive was your punch list after the initial flight? Any other issues pop up during your 40 hours of test flights?

[@richardinthesky]

Hi Doug. We've had various squawks that were easily ironed out along the way, as to be expected. I love the plane and how it flies!

[@billmoldt]

Thanks for sharing! Being able to fly from the LA area to Arizona is on my dream list. I appreciate the great visualization aid! 🙌

[@josbren8943]

Thx. Nice Video! I would be interested in the details of the fuel burn, speeds, temps ect.

[@justindwyer3430]

Yeah good one guys. Way to put the Sling and IFR ticket to use.

[@shanemacgregor2771]

Nice job with the IFR pop up, I have a Garmin glass I am just learning now.

[@richardinthesky]

Thanks for watching! You'll love the ease with which the glass panel aids cockpit management. Stay tuned for more. :)

So nice to see how comfortable you are on your “feet” with your pop up Instrument flying 😁

[@richardinthesky]

Thanks, Bridger! A lot of practice flying TEC routes with you, my man!
