Guy's Trip in the Sling TSi

On this guy's getaway I introduce my friends to General Aviation with a trip to Charlotte, NC. I wanted to use the theme music for Mission Impossible, but alas, was not allowed. Instead I found some spy-themed music by DJ Williams. Enjoy!

Your front seat passenger had a grin on his face the entire time! He'll be back for more.

Fernando seemed to have rightaphopia. The fear of turning an airplane to the right!

[@thefreshies]

Wholesome dad fun right there.

Love to see the Imperial beer cap, Costa Rica’ beer.
Just learning about the Slings, look like well designed aircraft

Always enjoy your videos!

[@steveyoung6787]

Great video. Love the commercial jet mentioning your wake turb. Awesome.

[@kmartinhd1]

Thanks for another great video Mike! Enjoyable to watch and great seeing your skill and confidence as PIC in action. Definitely inspires me to keep on with my TSi build.

[@airjay530]

Muito bom, obrigado por compartilhar.

[@chriskroeker1889]

Nice - keep ‘em coming!

[@OneAlphaMike]

I’ll try! Sometimes I’m not sure why I do it, but making the videos is kinda fun. But I’m happy to provide motivation for other Sling builders out there. Your hard work will pay off!

[@tsilikasp]

​@OneAlphaMike keep them coooooming!!! Builders need motivation

[@johnspooner4128]

That was cool! You should have pulled some 0 g's!!

[@pacordpty]

Mike, who did you have build your Sling Tsi?

[@josbren8943]

Love the video. I flew the SLING HW with the 916 last week. Time for you to upgrade for more HP I think!

[@OneAlphaMike]

Nice! The HW has a bit more room, but the TSi performs better, both in takeoff and in cruise speed. The 916 only has more power for 5 minutes at takeoff. The TSi doesn’t need any more power on takeoff. I’m waiting for a Rotax that has a higher continuous power for faster cruise speeds! 😁

@@OneAlphaMike Who did you have build your Sling TSI?

[@OneAlphaMike]

@@pacordpty I built it with assist from @EvanBrunye

[@pacordpty]

@@OneAlphaMike That's funny because I just sent him an email.

[@pacordpty]

@@OneAlphaMike How did you decide to go with Evan? Did you also consider other builds? Thank you.

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Michael, I really enjoy your videos and I'm a big fan of the TSi! BTW, do you have a link for the stick-on sunshield you're using at 27:54?? Thanks for posting! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

[@OneAlphaMike]

Yeah, it’s this one: www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/jpt_13-22143.php
But honestly, I’m not sure I’d recommend it. It’s overpriced for what it is. It’s not very dark - I modified mine by adding dark automotive tint. Also, it often doesn’t stick well on the curved side windows. I’m looking for a better solution.

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Thanks for the link. I have several Sporty's ones (the flimsy semi-translucent stickies) that work just OK. And I have a fully opaque one and it sticks on GREAT... I want to order another one, but I can't remember where I ordered it. I think it was for kids sitting in the back seat of cars. I'll let you know if I find it again.

[@stewie84]

You’re in Atlanta area?? Any chance you’d take me flying in your TSi? I’m going to build one. I’m just starting my GA journey. My Dad used to fly small planes for work, and it’s always been my dream. I work in an Atlanta area hospital. Hit me up, 1AM!

[@landonhsmith]

Does it have 2 motors

[@mannyyalda8725]

Nice Mike, I've been watching all your videos just love it. Nice trip with the guys, I wish I could fly with you one day. I just tried Sling TSi with Jean in LA and I absolutely love it. I was at Oshkosh this past summer and was looking for you. I'm in Chicago and looking to build my TSi hopefully soon. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@tsilikasp]

Good stuff!

[@danizweifler6061]

16 min 54 sec: nice cam shot with movable cam (goPro?)

[@OneAlphaMike]

It’s an Insta 360 One R. Not really movable, it just always shoots a sphere. Afterwards I can reframe the shot, choosing which way I want it to effectively “point.” Pretty slick technology!

[@williamkennedy2069]

Great video, but the music was terrible

[@OneAlphaMike]

🤣 I wanted to use the theme to Mission Impossible, but TH-cam wouldn’t let me. So this was the only “spy movie” theme music with open license that I could find. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but after a while it grew on me. 😁

Yo, what a amazing - Onealphamike-:)
