It is on to a 2 weeks journey in the Sling TSi. My first stop is our shop in North Carolina, then I head further north to VA where I will be doing my instrument training.
On this flight, I'm taking off in Atlanta Georgia and flying to Lookup Aviation in Winston Salem NC.
I really wanted to share the awesome performance of the Sling TSi because although many of you watch me fly this plane, but the performance in this thing is quite impressive. I was cruising at 9,500 ft and doing 150+ kts this is all while burning a mere 7.3 gallons of fuel per hour. Needless to say that I covered 258 miles in less than 2 hours.
Hope you enjoy the flight.

Thanks for the flight, that was well edited. The new ad you made for the cereal was super cute with your little one, my daughter is 10 now it goes by super fast, stay present to all her changes it's a true joy!!!

[@flywithmike6904]

You said Jacksonville, FL but the map looked more like a Jacksonville in one of the Carolinas. So cool how much you get to use your aircraft for personal/business though! Get that utility out of it!

[@antoniog9814]

I was just about to comment the same thing. That Jacksonville, FL seemed to be quite north of Florida.

[@JPN421]

Probably Jacksonville, NC

[@garrygballard8914]

Ya same here guys. lol.

[@rickpallisso4431]

LOL....noticed that as well. I'm in FL so I had to do a double take. I'm sure he just misspoke. I was gonna comment as well on it and ask if it was a verbal or mapping/video editing error just out of curiosity.

[@DANT-E]

Jacksonville North Carolina

[@mhilderbrand7693]

The cereal ad was one of my favorite parts of the video. At first, I thought it was a joke (with the spilled milk), then realized it was real 😀. Awesome to put your daughter in there!

[@Spec62]

Now. . .had you "promoted" kid's headsets or a "Travel John" the video would have gotten more bang for the buck. Breakfast cereal? Well, the milk did him in, didn't it? I missed the "rhythm" I needed for the flight following during the frequency change. Never heard the transponder code. Maybe it's me, but did I understand for the descent, the autopilot was disconnected BEFORE the descent started? I'm curious how for VFR flights the trip was "programmed." Nice perspective.

[@ryangi5]

ATC being a little passive-aggressive with someone at 0:54. 🤣

[@soiboughtabus9563]

I enjoy the full length videos, thanks.

[@tonym3675]

That landing was on point. Good to see you putting up a flight video of you. TY

[@tonespeaks]

@Tony M Not really on point, he was going too slow. So when he flared it kind of stalled (listen for stall horn). If he needed to abort for any reason, he was going too slow.

[@markrosier6889]

I really like your sponsor, Magic Spoon. And, by the way, I get the children "thing" too since I have 5 myself.

Hey Mike. Don't think it was this video, but I was at KINT the other day and heard you come in. Was going give you a shout out on freq but didn't think my instructor would have appreciated it!! Fly safe. Maybe see you around the pattern!

[@Anonymous99997]

Looking forward to the next video when you come up to my neck of the woods in Virginia.

[@DanFrederiksen]

A plumbingless lav in car config 4 seaters would improve their utility quite a bit. Just a minimal back in deal behind the back 2 seats. For single person use the door could remain open and maybe a mirror screen and good ADS-B could allow the pilot to use it. Could even have a fly by wire joystick in the lav although that might create problems.

[@papapapalima_scotland]

Clearly you aren't a pilot. The FAA will be watching you.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@papapapalima_scotland actually I own a plane :) I know the pilot is conventionally not supposed to leave the seat but that's from a time where automation and mirror controls wasn't possible. New rules can be made. Progress is possible, contrary to popular belief.

[@papapapalima_scotland]

@@DanFrederiksen ok, progress can be made. I agree, but on ga, and minus the newest garmin auto land, this is a big nono and will be on most GA planes for our lifetime probably. In any case, unless you start from autonomous planes, you are there to monitor at the very least. Imo this is the kind of comment that some random will take and implement like the idiots sleeping at the wheel on almost (but not quite) autonomous cars.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@papapapalima_scotland hehe an idea isn't bad just because someone can implement it recklessly. Have vision to see it working. With computerized ATC which we should have had 40 years ago it could even be safe flying blind for a few minutes because ATC can avoid any collision. You would have to declare it perhaps. 3 minute fixed flying say. Or the autopilot could acommodate ATC commands. Indeed we could easily have a runway to runway autopilot system with computerized ATC such that a pilot is not even required.

[@MegaNightcrawlers]

Good Job Mike....

[@DanFrederiksen]

Side note, Lancair IV-P can do close to twice the speed at same cost albeit used and can fly above the weather. And a plane could be significantly better than that still. As fast as it is, it's relatively heavy at a full ton empty. Good engineering could cut that down to 1/4. Which is no small margin.

[@davidh7799]

living the dream, flying, nice home, beautiful daughter, loved the magic spoon endorsement.

[@fope2010]

Hello, Mike....thanks for being a wonderful motivator all along... can you share your thoughts as regards the Mosquito Helicopter in terms of cost, fight hours and "safety"?

[@mojogrip]

I'd love to but I don't have any actual experience flying or owning a mosquito helicopter

[@fope2010]

@@mojogrip oh...so happy to receive your prompt reply..thanks a lot.

[@RealRickCox]

I have flown R22s, Bell 206's and MD500's.... I wouldn't EVER advise someone flying a Mosquito unless they are a high hour rotocraft pilot. Smaller doesn't make easier. If anything, that makes them more difficult to control in windy conditions.

[@mescarfullery]

was that a Roomba towing the plane?

[@Zuckerpuppekopf]

There probably is a place for a more scientifically based aviation nutrition video. In terms of glucose rushes and crashes, glycemic index might be a useful guide for carb based glucose spikes, but ultimately everyone's body works a bit differently. Any food item that also generates a lot of lipids in the bloodstream probably is also at risk for a little post-eating drowsiness. In terms of urination, I find water is not that bad unless you drink liters of it prior to a flight, but even small amounts coffee or any caffienated beverage will cause a diuretic effect and in-flight urgency. I personally avoid caffeine like the plague because of that effect. I find the stimulant value of caffeine is not so useful compared to simply eating right (or not eating at all) before take off. Very often people use the stimulant effect of the caffeine to counteract the sedative effects of post-prandial lipid and glucose spikes....which frankly is kind of dumb. Again, ultimately what is right will depend on the metabolic characteristics of the individual.

[@airlinepilotjh]

I am on Keto diet (low carb)and trying to get other family members to eat healthier. Looking at the label, this can reduce the carb intake by a good amount over traditional cereals. Thanks for the tip!

[@michaell9811]

Cool video thanks. Why do you leave the prop in climb setting during cruise?

[@jeanmarcbain9120]

HibMike, what is the system you use to move your aircraft? All the best

[@patrickhaye8882]

You can use IFR charts and other info even if you are not IFR rated.

[@lordgreyghostofxrp5175]

Where on Virginia will you be? If you have a minute to spare, I'd love to swing by and say hello.

[@1dullgeek]

This could be my next airplane. What's the best way to find out price ranges for this? I know what you paid for yours but I think you got the top of the line in everything. How can I find out what lower prices versions are available. I want to know what the lowest price available with build assist is.

[@drewmurray6545]

He actually can really help with that- he’s got a plane dealership he and his partner recently set up in Winston Salem nc, as well as an online plane sales website I believe- maybe check the description for that? One of the things he often talks about is helping people get into flying with a sling aircraft! I also felt his videos tugging me in that direction- I just need to wait til I get married before springing for it lol

[@1dullgeek]

@@drewmurray6545 yeah I've signed up for an account on that site but can't seem to find any prices. I guess I need to make a phone call.

[@g.choppa4448]

Mike did a great video on this with price breakdown. Itemized pretty much all cost.

[@1dullgeek]

@@g.choppa4448 he did a video on what he paid. But he got a lot of high cost options. I'm wanting to know what other options are available for pricing. So if I assume Mike's airplane is the top end, what's the bottom end? I just want to know the range.

[@g.choppa4448]

@@1dullgeek I think he did do a range . The low cost without build assist wasin the high 100's to low 200's, but with all bells and whistles approx. 300k at the high end.

[@hondainsight421]
