BEAUTIFUL PLANE. Love the interior and exterior colors.

[@mojogrip]

Just waiting for this thing to be fitted with the new Rotax 915. Nice walkaround video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bullhead_JW]

Sling TSi has this motor, effectively a 4 with the 915.

[@ian1064]

@@Bullhead_JW that's what he was waiting for..

[@kylecorrow702]

Your sling is the nicest plane on KZbin hands down. Beautiful airplane sir!

[@Tharkunify]

Best sling video I have seen. REALLY nice build and great choice of paint / avionics. Would love to have this plane!

[@AustNRail]

One of the best dash and avionics layouts I’ve seen for awhile. Lovely ride you have there. When you move to Australia I hope you bring her with you.

[@robbiemorley4246]

Awesome set up mate. I love the paint job as well. Hopefully I'll build one in the future

[@robertATC60]

love that overhead light

[@bubbleserispe7626]

Great video... Appreciated

[@bigglesaviation8910]

Plenty of options in your sling..nice.

[@jpgrobler7303]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! This video was made to showcase the plane as she was put to market to be sold. She is now sold to a very happy new owner.

[@bosatsu76]

What a beautiful plane... Pause it at 4:24 for a look at its snout... I swear it's a little animal looking at me

[@GaryMCurran]

I really like the paint scheme on this airplane. I hope that she is serving well with her new owner. I too am wondering about the 915iS in this airplane. It should fit fairly well in the same space as the 914UL Turbo, but give you 20 more horsepower. I mean, that's a no-brainer. It certainly wouldn't be my airplane of choice for a long cross country, but for a 500 mile trip or so, I certainly could see flying in this.

[@Skepilot]

How did you like the AVEO Eye Beam Touch interior lights? The look nice, but seem to get mixed reviews for some reason.

[@gmonnig]

Just out of curiosity, what are you upgrading to? Seems like the Sling 4 is a great aircraft for efficient travel.

[@jpgrobler7303]

gmonnig, thanks. We got a little Lancair 360. Rarely used 4 seats. Goes 200kts compared to 125kts in the Sling

[@REBooner30]

I’m intrigued by this airplane. Think I may have to take a test flight. It trues out at 125-130 kts on 5-6gph?

[@jpgrobler7303]

Rod Boone Realistic figures are 125kts at 6.5 USG/hr

[@therealeugenecussons]

JP Grobler are you guys selling this plane?

[@jpgrobler7303]

Nirvana Africa Yes she is sold and replaced with a Lancair

[@toreyburse1324]

Do they come with a wheel as oppose to a joy stick?

[@jpgrobler7303]

Torey Burse no they are only sold with a centre stick

[@ronbalzer9338]

Is this plane still for sale - I would purchase this plane over building a new one

[@jpgrobler7303]

Hi Ron A potential buyer has an option on her, but still waiting payment. Where are you based?

[@davejohnson7152]

Nice airplane !!!! who makes the propeller system ? and how much was the upgrade ...

[@jpgrobler7303]

Dave Johnson, as stated on the video, it’s a New Zealand Company called Airmaster. Don’t have the exact figure in mind now, but blades were roughly US$3500 and I would guess the electric Constand Speed Unit to be around US$4000. These are just educated guess values. Check Aircraft Spruce for accuarate prices.

[@mrashid3643]

Is there a wasp nest in the right intake??

[@jpgrobler7303]

m rashid Haha, most definitely not. Just engine components that you might mistake for a nest.

[@mrashid3643]

Cheers man. Sling is a beautiful plane to fly. done about five hours in it.

[@djmb10]

Very nice airplane :-) How much this airplane cost with this setup?

[@jpgrobler7303]

moshe brafman she is around US$200k new

[@Rich6270]
