I have to admit my pleasant surprise. This tie-up of Copperstate and Buckeye Air Fair might be exactly what is needed to generate a major show in the Southwestern USA
.
Let me be fair. Other West Coast aviation events have interesting qualities but none has ever risen to the level of AirVenture Oshkosh or Sun ‘n Fun. Those two dominate general aviation events. Both are “back East.”
With big pilot and aircraft populations in California, Arizona, and Washington, why have we no major shows in the West? No one I’ve asked can explain the riddle but could Copperstate Buckeye Air Fair be the right combination? Only time will tell yet on Saturday, crowds were as thick as Oshkosh, albeit in a much smaller area.
City planners offered an airshow and lots for attendees to look at plus the Copperstate trade show alongside the Buckeye Air Fair gave the public close access to pilots operating all manner of light aircraft.
When Rotax debuted their new 915iS engine at an Oshkosh press conference, Sling designer Mike Blyth raced forward at the end of the conference to closely examine the new power plant. It was clear to me this answered a creation he had in mind and now we can see the fruit of his ambition: the new Sling TSi.
Since the Rotax 915iS remains a powerplant that requires an in-flight adjustable prop, it cannot be used on a Light-Sport Aircraft, but TSi is based on The Airplane Factory’s Sling 4 four seater so kit-built it must be.
For Oshkosh 2018, The Airplane Factory USA said, “[We are] excited to present the North American debut of the all-new Sling TSi! This kit is the airplane Sling fans have been waiting for!” The Southern California importer said TSi has all of the style, economy and practical utility of the Sling 4 but with more speed.

So proud to be South African and seeing this ZA designed airplane being regarded highly in the USA. This is definitely the plane I want!

[@theblishknovk]

I live in the US. And the sling tsi is the airplane i want most. Hoping to own one some day.

[@NightSky777]

Impressive Indeed! Very thorough analysis. Love the look and generous useful load! Thanks for the ballpark price range too

[@stewartw.9151]

Good and thorough review. I know Mike Blyth the bossman of TAF and he, and his co-owner, James Pitman are both keen flyers and that shows in the excellence of this aircraft. Designed for pilots, by pilots!

[@hcrffi]

This N135WT reached 27,000ft altitude, during a flight to Oshkosh. Very impressive! Great plane!

[@antoniobranch]

They showed one at 30,000ft.

[@davidgaines4019]

Great video of an exciting plane.

[@mistymojo7859]

AWESOME INSIGHT THANKYOU KINDLY

[@kevinbutler9786]

The Vne on this has been changed to 155kts. This plane is so new that the specs keep getting updated.

[@gregstowell4732]

kevin butler where did you see this change?

[@mishawakapost2681]

Fist bumps 👊👊👊👊👊, high fives/pats on the back ✋✋✋✋✋, extra thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@NotTelling51]

very nice plane... would prob be my pick

[@Blitzkriken]

Not sure if extended tanks are still offered; no mention on website about them. But, 65 gallons of fuel weighs closer to 403lbs, not 330lbs. . . .

[@Katanaway]

Interested in the G rating and approved aero manoeuvring limits?

[@2Phast4Rocket]

This is like the modern Cherokee.

[@ctn830]

Throw in some carbon fiber and it’s a game changer. Doors should go to full size

[@cherfieldm]

If the seat is not adjustable? What if you are small or short person how will reach the pedal rudder?

[@ThePinaraf]

Very nice airplane, and great video. Just one thing, why do you have that sound setup using only the left channel ? It makes it hard to listen to on an headset…

[@antoniobranch]

Can you do spins in it?

[@ryanyoder7573]

Is there room in the back for a real ac electric air conditioner?

[@urbancommute5239]

What's the cost of this plane?

[@darrenicon5172]

ROTAX 915 Turbo oil supply problems and heat shield and now fuel pump recalls i lost confidence in ROTAX👎For the price the 915 should be problem free 🤷‍♂️😩

[@mytubehkjt]

Vne is normally measured as a true airspeed. If that is the case then Vne of 145kts means 145kts true..

[@ryanyoder7573]

No it’s not. It’s on the airspeed indicator.

[@MikeMike-er7kn]

VNE is INDICATED airspeed....

[@savagecub]

A little slow for that kind of money.

[@gamma_dablam]

Not for a four seater

[@momonamafg1917]

Huh those performance numbers on the plane are much lower in this review !

[@ryanyoder7573]

I don’t understand your comment. Can you clarify what you are trying to say?

[@Quivitoc]

Sound is no good! Are you using stereo?
