My Airplane Wings Are Coming On. TSi Airplane build

[@louismogavero5506]

Congratulations Mike. Wish you would show the attachment points for the wing to the fuselage. Whats with the hammering?

[@theobserver1219]

Big M! Your next baby is about to be birthed! Congrats! I have to enjoy this as you are living a part of the life I envisioned since I was young and never got the opportunity!

[@JonMulveyGuitar]

Congrats Mike!! You are in the fourth turn!! Homestretch is ahead:-) I am proud to say I have seen your plane in person and I am very happy for you! The Sling is a great plane! Go MojoGrip Go!!

[@larrysouthern5098]

It goes together like a giant scale R/C airplane or ARF (ALMOST READY TO FLY:) )......The mating of the wing is always exciting!!!!!!!! Great video!!!!

[@jbrown7815]

Excited for you, can't wait to see you fly it!

[@Renegadeproject]

Must be one of the most satisfying endeavors that anyone can be involved in

[@lynmerchant591]

Bro I am so happy for you we all waiting for your first flight

[@MrZrryan2]

Precision made, and Hammer-fit !!

[@KimateRichards]

I am looking forward to a total time and cost video when this is all done. Very inspiring.

[@kevinrtres]

Thanks for the show, Mo! I just wish you had a better view of the actual joining of fuselage and wing.....! Maybe do another video of another plane where you do not actually have to be physically involved but rather just do the video from the overhead of that part of the process...just a thought. Thanks.

[@reallynotpc]

kevin ruiters me too!

[@donjohnston3776]

Great to see the intern wearing a mask

[@Aprixiy]

Wow man plane is looking really good cant wait to see it finished I hope to one day own a plane keep up the good work Mike keep up the great videos

[@RonRana1]

BADASS MAN! Love all your videos. #Inspiring

[@paulmadruga9786]

You have so much passion for aviation! Happy for you and your build!

[@coolhari2000]

Love the hammering, just need duct tape now. 😂

[@jac6996]

Congratulations Mike! I am excited to see the progress of the plane and look forward to each of your vids. You have really sparked my interest in aviation as well. Congrats again. She will be in the air soon I am sure.

[@barryhuizing2804]

Congratulations Mike! Plane looks totally awesome! Best wishes on your first flight whenever that maybe.

[@pascalcalixte1583]

The paint is so sick. Can’t wait for final build. Really excited for you bro

[@dheyes803]

Mike, nothing good comes quickly. Even if your plane isn’t finished until October, you are going to be one happy man.

[@joegresells2161]

Man, I mistook when Mike said "I'm flying out tomorrow" I thought he meant he was flying this plane out tomorrow. It just dawned on me he meant he's leaving on a plane but not this plane. I want to see this thing in action! I'm still holding out hope he actually means this plane.

[@craigdunnicliff7878]

Great work, there does not look like much holding the wing to the fuselage, can you show the attachment points?

[@stevemowat4294]

Awesome step in the build Mike. And that paint is fantastic! GREAT choice

[@oludayod7757]

🛩️🛩️💯 Excited to share part of your dreams. Congrats once again

[@zutrue]

Congrats...Sir. The plane is just beautiful.

[@antoniosilveira2108]

Happy for you!

[@2Phast4Rocket]

MojoGrip, I am glad your airplane is coming together very nicely.

[@AV8OR51]

Looking great, Mike! Can’t wait to see in person the final build.

[@tomshigoka4386]

All of your hard work is paying off!

[@mittman9977]

Sweet Mike! Looking Great!!! Can't wait to see her fly! Like the music ;-)

[@fixedguitar47]

It’s amazing what you can order from Amazon!

[@mikesmith4337]

Man Mike it's great watching!! Love the color.

[@3blades476]

Things are getting real Mike! Excited for you!

[@BStrambo]

Can't get enough of that color, love it!

[@kentbarnes1955]

Looks GREAT Mojo!

[@darrenfadrigon3919]

Nice Mike. Haha I can tell your worried about your paint scratches lol. Hope you have touch up paints hehe. Exciting man. I’m currently building a Cessna 150 with my 9 yo son in the back yard. :-) but ours is from the boneyard. Thanks for taking us along your journey !

[@seanimal_rex]

I really like the color of the plane

[@darrellburkey1604]

Woohooooo! Can’t wait to see the finished result

[@mikeyswingsacrossthesky2244]

Congrats.....you now have a plane!!!!! It would have been helpful to see what was happening at the wing root and just how the wings actually attach. Won't be long now and she can take to the air!!!

[@Bonspieler]

Almost there! Congrats Mike!

[@slavedriver394]

Love, love that paint. Gonna look sick with some colour on it.

[@chubberino]

Someday soon I’ll be flying and owning my own plane. It might be a simple Cessna 150 or an experimental. Who knows. Excited tho

[@mikesmith4337]

WINGS BABY!!!!

[@sinfuldavy0]

Congratulations man

[@stevefisher2553]

Paint is going to look good in the sun!

[@Zdubzz]

Congrats and nice choice on paint!

[@doranjaffas7351]

Hammering is never a good sound but we can call that heavy tapping! Nice looking airplane as it's coming together Mike.

[@robertlafnear4865]

Guess these guys are immune to COVI-19 ... love the plane but stay back and upwind Mike and stay well.

[@perrypike90]

Mike, it won’t be long now. How long till your able to get back and finish it up?

[@lilfuzzy5908]

Just started my instrument training at the academy....hope to see you around the field soon!

[@darklordbobSmoke]

I'm finally back in flight training, 2 hangars down at PSA.

[@EJWash57]

Another milestone, although I can't ignore the hammering. I assume that what was being wailed on with no less than a two-pound sledge hammer are the wing joining bolts. I'd expect to hear such mauling at a heavy steel construction site, but not an airplane hanger. If it takes that much effort, something just ain't right.

[@GurdevSingh-et7lc]

Congratulations Mike dream coming true

[@django1364]

I love that colour, I going to paint my car in that colour already check it out, plane looking great.

[@EdwardHefter]

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, Mike! How long do you think it will take you to get your 40 hours in once it is built? And, are you flying straight back to Georgia or taking the roundabout way (through South Dakota, for example)?

[@mojogrip]

Thanks Edward. for the 40 hours test flight, I'm estimating 2-4 weeks. Will be flying everyday, multiple times a day if weather permits.

[@EdwardHefter]

Sounds good - remember to fill out the performance characteristics while you’re at it, not just fly around for the fun of it (though it will be fun!). If you haven’t seen it already, the EAA has some cards you can fill out to help you figure out the performance specs. Like a ceiling of 28,000’. Or FL29. Or FL30????

[@thomaswilson3437]

Looking good!

[@logicreversed18t]

Congrats on the project coming together! What's the rationale regarding wearing the camera versus setting up a tripod? I'm so very interested in the content, but the constant motion and poor framing are a huge distraction.

[@Ulbre]

top stuff mister MoJo only one little suggestion though....when he says "This wing is done, you're doing the other one" (or words to that effect).....you should put the camera down and actually do the other wing......it's your baby, nurse it!

[@lonnieholcomb2078]

good for you! breaks over! keep working :)

[@aviationdocumentaries4520]

Awesome 😎 👨🏼‍✈️

[@Digital-Dan]

Inspired music choices. Love it.

[@slingbuilduk400]

Looking great Mike

[@williamstrome5271]

mike i know your trying to create content but please inform your self of the more technical side of things before hand like what the thingy is lol

[@JasonEllisBuilds]

Lookin good Mike!! (I still think you should have gotten an RV-10.. =D But some might say I'm biased.. hehe)

[@williamiannucci2740]

How much are one of those planes out the door?

[@alexandrenazario7857]

Hey.... Mike Nice Job..

[@gregp6123]

very cool!

[@fuzzyjax]

The guy had one job, to put the styrofoam block under the wing, couldn’t handle it.😂😂😂 Mike the plane is looking great! Beautiful.

[@coolhari2000]

Just as I was wondering about mojosling status.

[@thammanoonkamfunt5470]

Good Job !

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

Watch the paint !!!

[@peerplaut]

Im sorry about the paint scratch. That is the problem when assembling painted pieces. It happens on cars. Hopefully you can blend in some repair.

[@АлександрРылов-ш2ж]

Good day Congratulations 👍

[@DanFrederiksen]

Looks like a plane. But it's very unclear how the wings stay on. Was there a beam in it? looked like it was just a stump pushed onto the fuselage, like it has no strength.

[@scottlane5164]

But it warms my heart that that bothers you Nicely done

[@ashsmitty2244]

DAMN!

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice

[@DavidBruner_NJ]

Congrats! What a mess getting them on.

[@kapppz]

Was it wing Wednesday?

[@joeyg7458]

Tower this is thingy ready to taxi with information thingy

[@TRabbit1970]

...thingy. 🤣👍

[@andrewallen9993]

Lovely to see you building an Aircraft designed in Africa by Africans.

[@Araye]

Mike, time for a tripod so you can help more without worrying about filming.

[@scottlane5164]

It will never be seen again

[@Matt-pz4we]

Do they plan to re-spray the whole thing? More likely he’ll see that scratch (actually looked like 2) every single time he does a walk around because he knows it’s there. Also a point where corrosion can set in.

[@hcoptertx]

I love the color but it's going to show everything, if you yawn near it..lol.

[@waqarsyed6641]

Mike

[@Kosmonooit]

Tell that safa to stop fluking!

[@robstaley3051]

Is that all that holds the wings on?? yikes!! I would expect a large pair of pipes attaching to the air frame.

[@NICU_Guy]

At the very beginning there is a lot of cussing and you say "What happened?". It was not covered in the video.

[@Bonspieler]

The flaps got scratched in two places. If you go back, you can see them.

[@NICU_Guy]

@@Bonspieler OK. I heard Mike talk about the scratches, but didn't think that was the issue. I thought it had to do with something inside the wing. I thought the guy with his hand inside the wing was the one cussing because Mike pans the camera down to him when he said "What happened?".

[@motowingsadventures]

How can you give this a thump down. Some people are just sad haters..

[@johnf3305]

you mean they're almost done...no way this build meets the 51% rule...

[@EJWash57]

The 51% rule is specific to each aircraft design. Get's even more murky when build-assist comes into play. I can "build" an Experimental Category Carbon Cub, and put less than 100 hands-on hours myself.

[@tyler_russell]

Why is this painted before you fly off the 40 hrs? I would have waited in case you needed to make changes. Then you have a spotless plane when the build is done.

[@slavedriver394]

The guys at TAF have done this enough to get it right first time..

[@EJWash57]

@@slavedriver394 Yeah. Like hammering the heck out of what I assume are the wing joining bolts to get them in place. If that doesn't spell "amateur", what does?

[@slavedriver394]

​@@EJWash57 You have heard of interference fits I presume? The bolts are designed to be a tight fit - even the smallest amount of play at the wing root would result in movement of the wings. In what way is hammering them into place amateur - I would be interested to know how you would do it?

[@EJWash57]

@@slavedriver394 Not having the manual or drawings, I can't answer that question. In general, though, Engineering/Interference Fits are best joined with a non-shocking method. Arbor press, or hydraulic. Even thermal (heat to expand - freeze to contract). A huge issue with using a hammer is alignment. No way to be dead-on with each and every blow. Not that the wings will ever need to be taken off, but THOSE wings are NOT coming off!

[@chriskroeker1889]

Plane is looking great. Must have a mask shortage in California. Cough.

I hope that plane has air conditioning because black is going to be hot!

No wings, no fly. What, 59 comments and no reply? Everyone is making nice comments to you.

I hate subtitle! Can not see something.

If I was gonna spend that kinda of 💰 I'd buy a real plane not a toy experimental.. That panel.cost more than my plane, what a waste!

[@maxchilla732]

The Performance from the tsi is really good.

[@shawnsutter9748]

This guy is always seeking money from people to run or pay for his aircraft stuff. He has a page or member page for MOJOGrip. He offers nothing for members but wants them to become members to MOJOGrip. He does nothing for those who join and become members on his page. Also, he is charging a membership fees of $48 dollars for a full year. This guy is a joke. I have never see any other people on this page. I am retired Marine and Air Force Veteran having both worked on F/A 18's and F-16s for over 22 years, and currently seeking my private pilot rating. I come to YT for knowledge and the overall experience to enjoy aviation with others, not to pay their fees or members. This is not what YOU TUBE is for. I know that a person earn money from making videos from YT.

[@jedwig61]

Sorry Mike, I had to give a 👎🏻. What is clearly a significant milestone in your build has not captured at all what was needed to connect the wings to the fuselage. Yes we saw some wiggling & some jiggling accompanied by some banging but it would have really interesting to see some close ups.

[@DCGULL01]

Mike? I KNOW, but, did you really HAVE to join the left wing???? Even AOC is being looked down on these days, bro.
