The CRAZY capabilites of the Sling TSI (Test Pilot Demo Flight)

In the previous video we had a look behind the hangar doors of the Sling Factory here in Johannesburg, South Africa. After seeing the incredible line of airplanes, and witnessing their meticulous craftmanship, I even had the chance to fly the flagship Sling TSI with the company's very own test pilot Sean. Even more spectacular was the fact that we flew in formation with the upcoming Sling High Wing during one of it's developmental test flights testing the forward CG limits.

Heart breaking to hear of his passing. He left a passion and legacy for many to emulate. Great video.

This was one of the better demo flights in our local plane that I've seen! Lovely video - thanks Bambi!

[@PilotBambi]

Thank you!! It was a such a pleasure to fly with Sean. He could literally tell us EVERYTHING about this aircraft, so it was a very informative flight.

[@kamalbaloch9759]

Nice

[@3blades476]

That has to be one of the bast Sling TSi demo’s I’ve seen! Well done. Love your work!

[@ld5954]

So much fun watching you fly! I think you spend more time in the air than on the ground! Thanks for taking us along!! 🙂👍

[@PilotBambi]

Happy you enjoyed it!!

[@GaryLaaks1]

One of the very few things that makes me proud to being a South African residing in PE. My first flight in a Sling 2 left me seriously impressed. At sea level she lifts off before you can settle in nicely into your seat. Smooth, easy to fly and also no rudder required except for cross wind landings mostly. The radio banter on this one is insane LOL. Julle gaan die owerhede mal maak LOL.

[@davemartin8684]

That was fantastic thank you for taking us along with you.

[@GSteel-rh9iu]

Great explanations, great production with unobtrusive music, excellent demo flight of the Sling TSI with 3 people, formation flying. Thanks Bambi and Sean!

Absolutely awesome, have been interesting in building a sling for a while - this made me want to do it even more!!!!!!!!

Thanks Bambi - great video as usual. I’m biased but there is literally nothing that can compare to the package that a Sling Tsi offers. Can’t wait to see the high wing in the flesh!

Really liking the look of that high wing. Would like to have one.

[@thisismagacountry1318]

Yep, it's either that or the Pipistrel Virus SW for my first choice. The Pipistrel is composite and basically a powered short wing glider that can do aerobatics. The wing design handles turbulence better than most planes in its class.

[@Captndarty]

The fact that the ball goes out does in fact mean it needs rudder to initiate the term. Any aircraft doesn’t need the rudder once established in a bank. I’m surprised someone in his position isn’t up to speed on that….

[@pred7949]

you are really confused out here. Also, stop liking your own comments like a fool
