In my opinion the best tool to buy before starting the effort of building an home built airplane is a small CNC. It is a real force multiplier. I have bougth my first one 25 years ago and it is still working.
When it was approved they were saying up to 50 cents a gallon more, now they are saying a dollar, by the time it shows up to most pumps it will be at least 2 dollars more, mark my words.
Thats over 3 times as much as I paid for my Sting S4 …. Way too much for what it is but for people who have more money they can spend, it does not matter so my guess is they will find a dozen or so customers per year across the world in this category of buyers. After Sting S4 , it is going to be EAB for me at half of this price …
I cut the can open with a really sharp wood chisel. I get no contam in the filter pleats. On the pleats, after I inspect them I throw the pleats in a container of Varsol and agitate for a while. Then I throw in a neodium magnet and swirl that through the varsol by shaking the container for several minutes to collect all the ferrous metal. I usually just get a little bit of ferrous "mud" superfine particles stuck to the magnet. Then I'll strain the varsol through a piece of dark cloth from an old shirt to look for bright non-ferrous bits.
Are these the factory built certified mosaic prices? No one can afford these prices, and anyone that could would not care about fuel burn. We are clearly not the target audience for this. What is the price for a kit built sparker EXPERIMENTAL
If this MOSAIC law comes into to play, aviation will change for the better. I'm excited for new airplanes like this. Commenters complain about the price, but they don't realize that this costs a whole lot less than the certified models and the cost to maintain it will be a lot less. I think this area will become more and more competitive as time goes on and we will all win!. Very exciting!!!
@@TSLApilot only holds 50 pounds and you can’t put golf club’s, skis or a bike back there size wise. My similar sized plane hold 180lbs and can squeeze in a bike and maybe golf clubs.
I’m guessing this plane is smaller than yours. It’s about the same length as a Cessna 152. …and even a much bigger Cirrus SR20 can only have 130 lbs max in the cargo area. For these LSA sized planes, this has one of the larger storage capacities (volume and weight). Larger or similar to the VL3, Tecnam p2008, Bristell, Elixer Aircraft, DA20. Do you know of a modern 2 seater that can carrying more than 100 lbs in the cargo area?
@@TSLApilot the Rans s 21 can. This plane has a massively wide cockpit with incredible speeds running the exact same motor as mine. In comparison its wingspan is 1 foot wider with a 1 foot shorter fuselage the cargo volume is identical to mine at 24 ft.³ yet you can hardly carry anything worthwhile for a trip. 50 pounds to my 180 pounds. This is a 400K traveling plane. People want to bring and do things when they arrive other than renting equipment.
So, Features are now called Functionalities. Reminds me of back when Optional was then called Available. I’m waiting for when Garmin will be called Affordable.
The first plane I owned (in a partnership) was a TL StingSport (over a decade ago)... nice little airplane for what it was. Glad to see they have this out. I'm just wrapping my SlingTsi build these days...
Looks nice except for the price. You can get a fully decked out RV10 or Sling TSI through a build center which are both great airplanes for that price and have 4 seats which is way more practical.
This is a quite though💪 and realiable engine!. That is why it is actually becoming the standard powerplant for the aircraft MXP 1000 Tayrona: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V3MYyiNtXyw.html
I was watching a 1950's movie and it was about an aircraft mechanic smuggling counterfeit bills. The engine in the movie was a 6 cylinder air cooled that looked exactly like the engines we use 75 years later. In 1950, flathead Fords were the hot setup, look how far car engines have progressed.
Looks to be a very well thought out design. 2 hp per Cubic inch is incredible. Water cooled and 4 main bearings. Those Italians love their fast engines. Great price too.
That's Right... That is the reason why it is actually becoming the standard powerplant for the aircraft MXP 1000 Tayrona: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V3MYyiNtXyw.html
What’s lycoming’s excuse for holding everyone up for over 2 years? It’s pretty much going to drive me to a kit plane that I can run an Edge Rotax in, rather than waiting on that nonsense.
Looks nice - certainly a better visual match for the the rest of the Garmin's line-up, but still hope we'll one day see a Garmin 8.33kHz radio with built in intercom + Bluetooth option - along the lines of the 25kHz spacing GTR200/200B (for experimental). Alternatively, an integrated intercom version of the new GTR205 would great!🤞
