    Not a pilot but (rc pilot) all those electronic avionic nannies seem to be the wrong way to learn to be a pilot. Even in rc you always have to fly the plane in every circumstance.

    • @EdwardHefter
      @EdwardHefter Месяц назад

      Wondering if you feel the same way about learning to drive a car with automatic transmission rather than the stick shift I learned on? Or using GPS rather than a map? Or TPMS warnings in the car rather than checking the air pressure once a month? Technology moves on. The two of them are still flying the plane, AND they know how to use the newer technology to make it safer and more enjoyable.

    And it runs mogas instead of avgas which is both healthier and half the cost. So 3-4x cheaper than a Cirrus, both in fuel and service. But Sling, you really have to transition to factory built certified and single piece composite has to be the way. There is just no growth potential in a 300k$ plane that you have to build yourself with kit build affecting resale value as well. Cirrus had 13 kit planes completed and killed 10 people. Now they totally dominate as certified despite being absurdly overpriced. Great place to start could be a Risen copy. Very simple construction and blows everything away. Certified with a parachute, it could really make a dent in aviation. And no 300k nonsense or worse. Think 100k, Rotax greed aside.

    • @EdwardHefter
      @EdwardHefter 3 месяца назад

      I would love to have an airplane equipped as well as this one for $100k, but since the avionics is more than half of that, the engine is more than half of that, and the paint is not free, Sling would need to write checks while giving away the plane. Don't expect a $100k TSi anytime in the near future. As far as certified, that probably won't happen soon, either. But, ready built airplanes without requiring a build? Mosaic will certainly help with that!

    • @EdwardHefter
      @EdwardHefter 4 месяца назад

      There is a special moment just before first flight where the pilot is getting themself ready for that instant they break loose from the bonds of the Earth, and in preparation for that leap into sky, they perform the symbolic “breaking the seal” of the airplane. Removing the screen cover, and the plastic on the Go Around button, represents the beginning of a life of adventure. When you are about to take your first flight, you’ll also get to experience the exhilaration that comes from leaving the past behind. Until then, I guess, you’ll just dream about it.

      Up to 6’6”, no problem. As the seats slide back, they also get lower because people with longer legs also tend to have longer torsos. The rudder pedals are also adjustable, so they can be moved forward or back to adjust for the legs. Above about 6’6”, use the “tall pilot” seat option that makes the seat slide farther back and lower. Better yet - come to Torrance, CA, for a demo flight!
