It really can, with a build assist of course. Today I’m back in Torrance California at The airplane factory hangar and I got a chance to check out the very first Sling TSi every built and assembled in the United States. The proud owner Algen happens to be a view of Mojogrip and I was so happy for him.
Algen ordern his kit in 2018 and he used the build assist program offers by Sling to build out his plane. From kit to finish, it took about 8 months to have a full-scale flying airplane. Right now they are test flying around California, as it is custom to fly the airplane or any experimental aircraft for at least 40 hours before you can get it certified by the FAA.
The Sling TSi is a superb cross country machine with amazing fuel burn. This airplane will cruise 160 – 180 miles per hour burning only 8 gallons of fuel. And this is at max gross weight.
