The Plane build

9/21/2020

On 9/21/2020 we put down our first half on the full kit for the SlingTsi.  Laurie and I are going to be building this in the garage in our home up to the point where the wings need to go onto the airplane.  It's probably the craziest project I've undertaken to this time, but the upside is quite good.  Once the plane is built we will be the sole owners and the lower hourly operating costs of the airplane will make the time flying a lot easier to stomach.  As things evolve I will endeavor to keep the posts up to date here.  Stay tuned...

Hi Brian! Wow! I stumbled upon your plane build site … have no idea how it happened, but REALLY enjoyed reading and seeing the progression of your awesome SlingTsi !!
I’m green with envy my friend. I managed to get my solo flight at Centennial AP but the cost of going all the way to PFC was out of my reach. Bully for you dude!!
I would love to reconnect with you and your wife!
I’m in Highlands Ranch with my wife of 27 years and 3 kids:(daughter age 22, girl. daughter age 19. Son age 16.)
Contact me at (303) 668-0332, let’s connect again!
I have a profile on LinkedIn.com as well.
