Unboxing Firewall Forward kit and first INSTALLS (Sling TSI Quick build in 4k)

[@dridgesnapoleon]

Wow let me tell you my heart is full. I'm so happy you are making this video. I was thinking of going with the quick build kit but wasn't sure if it would be worth it but with what your showing I definitely will be please show you journey in building your plane I would love to follow.

Thank you for the message, I'm so happy I could help, I was looking for this information when I wanted to order but couldn't find what state a quick build arrived! I have just visited the sling dealer and flown a sling tsi for the first time and have SOO much more information and videos to make 😀 stay tuned for more, I just have to get home and edit them

I really would like to build one of these airplanes. I've watched many build from scratch videos on the Sling TSI. This will be the first series that I've seen from a quick build kit. Looking forward to this helping inform my thinking on which way I would go. First couple of questions: 1. How long from the point that you placed the order did it take for delivery? 2. When will the engine arrive?

[@Airborne4k]

It took 3 months and I've only just ordered my engine but that doesn't come from sling. It should be here in a week or two, it was in stock in Australia

[@1dullgeek]

@@Airborne4k wow! That's a LOT faster than I thought both of those would take. I've heard stories of people waiting 12+ months.

[@Airborne4k]

@1dullgeek that was some of the reason I went with the quick build, it was 12 months for the slow build

Hello - would love it you could answer a dimensional question for me. What is the length of the fuselage from firewall to the tail as shown about 30 seconds into this video? Trying to determine if it can fit into my garage/workspace in that state. Thx!

[@Airborne4k]

Hi Mark, thx for the question, I'm just away for another week (about to fly a Sling TSI for the first time) but when I get home I will get this for you

[@markdawson7877]

Awesome - thx!

[@Airborne4k]

Hey mate it's 5.8m from the end of the tail to the furthest point which is the nose wheel

[@markdawson7877]

Excellent - will just fit!
