The positive thing about the HW is it's a better off-field airplane and they should have resolved any CG issues. The downside to the high wing is it's a bit slower than the Tsi. My main beef between the HW/LW situation (regardless of who makes it) is in the pattern when you turn in a HW you lose sight of the fix points or any other possible traffic you may need to keep your eyes on. With a LW aircraft it's easy to keep things in sight for most of the pattern. But like with anything else, it's all manageable.
Absolutely, don't miss out on the incredible Sling High Wing experimental airplane kit! Its modern beauty is truly captivating. 👍

The HW is more than “a bit” slower than the TSi. It’s at least 12 knots slower, maybe more. And the takeoff performance is considerably worse.
@@OneAlphaMike I was trying to be nice. ;)
@@ibgarrett 🤣
The TSi will be the sports car in the lineup, the HW will be the sedan. There will be plenty of buyers for each.
@@OneAlphaMike agreed. I’ve been up with Aaron a few times in his and it’s just amazing. Can’t wait to get mine done.
They should really consider offering side-sticks or yokes as an option, in my humble opinion.
I think to! I love the tsi but actually the HW ist in some points better.
Just wait until the rotax 916iS is put in this airframe.Should see big increase in climb rate.
Sweet! I need to do some research apparently! Thanks for the heads up!
@@nhflyguy Yep it's coming soon. Saw it at the factory last month.
It will surely help the performance but if the 916 is also put in the TSI the HW will still have the same gap.
Sling needs have a build center in North America 🤷♂️
There is a build center in California, Michigan, Idaho, and New York.
Rather come here, we shoot some Kudu, eat great steaks and drink cheap wine. All for a couple of bucks😂 then u can pick up your plane😅
You could have seen, inspected and sat in this airplane at Oshkosh. I did. And I have a deposit on one.
Great video! Great looking aircraft. What flight school are you at?
I fly at Concord NH, our aircraft are not nearly as nice as the sling however 😉
