Sling TSi Build Fuselage Walkaround
Переглядів 6294 місяці тому
A description of my airplane build project including a walkaround and brief description of the under construction fuselage. I did this in one take and there are a few gaffes. I do know that it's Johannesburg, South Africa. Not just Africa. That's probably the worst one. Another is I used the word "certified" when referring to IFR. Better wording would have been fully IFR capable. This is an exp...

Pulling Rivets on my Sling TSI Airplane Build - Video 2
Переглядів 3 тис.Рік тому
This video shows the battery powered Milwaukee M12 Rivet Tool pulling 4.0mm flush rivets through the leading edge skin, main wing skin, and into the main wing spar. Pretty repetitious but shows the process. With only a couple exceptions where a powered rivet tool wouldn't fit and had to use a hand puller, all the rivets on the build so far have been as shown in these two videos.

My current project is a Sling TSI experimental kit airplane. Taking a lot of pictures and a few videos of the process to document for myself plus inspection when it's completed. This video shows my air powered rivet gun pulling 3.2mm rivets for the LH wing top skin. Of interest here is this style gun sucks the mandrel away once the rivet is pulled. Makes for quick work.

2022 London Cobra Show Coupe on Charity Rides

This is my Factory Five Gen 3 Coupe with a Ford Performance Gen 3 Coyote giving charity rides at the 2022 London Cobra Show. From two phone videos, so not the greatest quality. Sorry. But gives an idea. Turn up the volume! I was purposely doing a soft launch to not spin the tires (I'm a wimp) but still managed to peak at about 85 mph in the roughly 1/8 mile.

It's always fun to stumble across a new Sling Builder. :D Looks great!
Just fyi, it looks as though your cowling fastener strip is mounted outside of your firewall flanges. Build manual has it inside.
Sharp eye. Yes, I'm aware. The manual wasn't clear (to me anyway). I'm way too far into it to change and it's been determined not an issue. I'll leave it at that.
@@paulborror2544 Cool, glad it’s no factor. I’m currently trying to figure out how to deal with the top two rivets attaching the firewall to the side skins. They are drilled too far away from the edge to line up well. Asking technical what to do.
I'm just staring my fuselage... Maybe someday, it'll look as good as yours.
Looks good, nice work! You always make it look easy 😊
👍
Any idea how many hours are needed to complete the truck ? Also how is the wind noise ?
Everybody's build speed is different. I didn't track my time, but I suspect around 1,000 hours. I'm a slow builder plus I did all the options including fenders, etc. and some mods. Plus helped to paint it. While not super loud, it's loud enough with the kit provided mufflers. I never noticed any wind noise. This is the original release version from Factory Five. They've since introduced a new version with a larger cab. A huge improvement.
Great work!! Did you run into any issues with the rivet gun?
Thanks. No, the Milwaukee M12 rivet gun is a solid tool. I've pulled thousands of rivets with it and it's never missed. I've built several cars with it and now the Sling TSi airplane build. Some people don't like that fact that you have to tip it back to drop the rivet mandrel into the box. I usually just pull them out as I go. As shown in this video.
Go cart? Either I'm missing something here or that's a really big go cart.
"Go-kart" is a term meaning it's the first time the build project is driven before it's complete. Often when missing major body parts, interior, etc. Like this one. Or sometimes just the chassis. Thus the comparison to a go-kart.
@@paulborror2544 Thank you for the explanation. Wasn't aware of that.
Great work Paul. I was excited to hear that you live rather close to me. I am in Davison and I've been researching and loving the Sling Tsi for a long time. Please let me know if you ever need a hand. I'm interested in building a Sling and would love to assist you with anything you might need. Best of luck.
Thanks for your offer. I'll keep it in mind. I assume you know you're relatively close to Midwest Sky Sports in Sandusky, Michigan. Closer than me. They typically have a number of Slings underway. The folks that run the operation are super helpful.
@@paulborror2544 Yes, I have been to Midwest Sky Sports and went through an introductory session on the Tsi. I am also close to Midwest Panel who are doing some really cool things with the Sling. I am sure you are aware. I am currently flying out of Flint Bishop. Let me know if you ever need another set of hands, seriously.
Paul, very impressive. Clean as always. I watched some other Sling build videos and this aircraft seems a lot nicer than the experimental kits of yesteryear. The finished product looks like any other production plane. Glass cockpit is the only way to go. I can't believe the rivet spread. The skin is definitely not coming off. I wonder if arframe paracutes are a thing with these.
Thanks. Yes, a ballistic recovery parachute for the Sling TSi is definitely a thing. I meant to say something about it during the video. But like several other details, missed it. I did mention it in the video description though. Check it out above. My initial build won't have the parachute, but it's equipped so it can be added later if desired.
Great looking coupe! Can I ask where you got your reverse lights in the back? If you have a part # I would appreciate that - I'm nearing the end of my coupe build and would like to add those.
Thanks. The backup lights are Watsons Streetworks L96WCL White LED backup lights. Made by Maxxima. Good luck with your build.
@@paulborror2544 thanks Paul!
Looks and sounds great!
an airplane! holy Toledo!
sounds pretty healthy
What rivet gun are you using?
It's a SHININGEYES Heavy Duty Air/Hydraulic Rivet Gun Self Suction Style. Available on Amazon. It's a knock-off of much more expensive similar tools. I've been using a Milwaukee M12 battery powered rivet gun, shown in video 2, for most of the build. It's easier to switch sizes and you don't have to drag around an air hose. But for high volume, like all these rivets on the wing skins, the air powered tool that sucks in the mandrels as you go is very efficient.
@@paulborror2544 Thanks!
@@paulborror2544 what pressure do you usually use? Have you had any issues with your compressor not keeping up with the air use for suction? I find that I have to close the slide valve ob the gun and let the pressure recover after pulling ~15 rivets at 100psi. The compressor can do about 4cfm.
@@Finder245 I'm using a Quincy 2HP / 26 gallon compressor. Rated at 7.4 CFM at 90 PSI. The regulator is set at 120 PSI. It cycles while I'm using the rivet gun. But it keeps up ok. For the series of rivets in the video (around 50) no issues. If you listen very carefully, you can hear the compressor start at around the 55 second mark. It's upstairs in the garage so not easy to hear. I suspect your 4 CFM is a little light for continuous work.
@@paulborror2544 yes, it does seem that way. It has a 20 gallon tank, but it is only 4 cfm at 90 psi. At least it is quiet... It seems that it will work as long as I remember to close the valve when I am not actively riveting. Again, thanks for the info!
I like what you did with the interior. Beautiful car.
Sweet
Stunning! Love it!
Very nice fit and finish!
Beautiful car! Great work done here!
Beautiful car!! Tastefully done ✅ hopefully you won 🥇 in your class!
Thank you. Appreciate the comments. Yes, first place in the handbuilt sports class.
@@paulborror2544 well done Sir!! Richly deserved 💜💜
Sweet car.side-pipes👍rule!😎✌🇨🇦
Sounds great. Maybe a hot cam for some lope and gear drive for a little whine under the hood?
This is the 430 HP LS3 crate motor. The 495 HP version is the same exact motor with a "hot" cam (P/N 88958753). That would be an option I guess and not that hard to swap. But I'm fine with the truck just like it is.
Your build quality is exceptional. That center console came out perfect. There are hand-built Italian supercars with much lesser interiors lol.
Didn't get to see a profile of the exterior, bummer.
Lots of pictures in this link. It's for sale. thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?47195-For-Sale-Hot-Rod-Truck-138-Videos-Added
Congrats on another amazing build.
Wow love the interior and looks like behind seat and top rear of headliner area is finished out as well couldn’t see that area very good . I’m starting a new building on side property and then get my truck ordered
The inside of the fiberglass cab is sprayed with UPOL Raptor. This truck is for sale BTW. thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?47195-For-Sale-Hot-Rod-Truck-138-Videos-Added
That’s awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing
Nice looking truck man. I know this is an older video but I’m building 35 truck now. And I am struggling with the gaskets around the door glass. I was wondering if you could tell me where and what kind of gasket you used. I sure would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Thanks. I agree the window gaskets are a bit challenging. I used the kit supplied material on the outside, installed per the manual. For the inside, used the kit supplied material except along the bottom edge. The slot was cut too wide. So I used 12335A51 from McMaster which was wider and mostly filled the gap. With some effort and patience it can be made to work and look OK.
Thanks I’ll look into to that.
Where can I find your build thread?

Funny question for you, will the trunk fit some golf clubs? I have searched the forums and can't find an answer...
I'm not a golfer so can't give actual experience. But several have commented when seeing the hatch area behind the seats that there's room for golf clubs. You decide. Measures 41" front to back. 55" when measured diagonally.
@@paulborror2544 That is so helpful! I really appreciate your response. Love the video & build too, the color is fantastic.
You’re building a plane!! How do you stay one step ahead of me.
Yes, been working on it for about five months now. After waiting 10 months for it to arrive. No contest here. Are you going to do an airplane build?
@@paulborror2544 building a plane has been on my to do list for a long time. I work in Aviation so it fuels the fire. I assume you were in Oshkosh last week?
@@cobradaytonabuild1671 No. Haven't attended Oshkosh yet. Hopefully sometime.
Very nice
Paul, at the London event do all the cars ever gather in one spot for a few hours like a car show? Or is this more of a multi-day owners touring event? Im in plan stage for a coupe and just looking for places to see coupes and chat with builders. Thanks.
All the attendees gather in London, OH on Saturday. Center of town is shut down and the cars line the streets. This year, it's June 24. That's your best bet to see everyone at one time. We will parade into town between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. Worth it to see. Most leave around 2:00 or so.
Great job
Is this the one Peter Brock did an interview in?
No. I did meet Peter Brock at an event last October. He was a real gentleman and loved the Coupe. But it was relatively brief and no interview.
The best interior I have seen so far
where did you buy the lights? Great looking build!
Thanks. It's now completely finished. Those lights came with the kit from Factory Five. Sorry, I don't know any more details about them. Came in a plain box.
FFR needs to do the Bill Thomas Cheetah.
Would like to see more of it. I like the color better than the replica scheme.
This video was taken during the build and before it was painted. The color here is red gelcoat on the fiberglass body. I did paint it candy red, so a little similar. But not this. Check my video library for several videos of the completed Coupe.
@@paulborror2544 went to your channel and found the video of the show. It does have more info there and the car did turn out pretty good.
Very nice Paul. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I remember going to autorama a number of years ago. Great job on the car!
Nice build! How do you like the Gas-N pipes vs. the FFR ones?
At the time this build was completed, FFR only provided plain steel exhaust pipes. They were crudely welded, ugly (e.g. unfinished), and extremely loud. Described at the time as "NASCAR loud." I never considered using them and Gas-N introduced their version using my build as the first example. Gas-N products are beautifully made polished stainless and have a reasonable mellow tone. So I'm very happy with them. Since then, and now available, Factory Five sells polished stainless pipes and they also have changed to a ball socket type attachment at the headers. I believe that Gas-N also offers the ball socket attachment, but that's not what mine have. I don't have any way to compare the current FFR pipes to the Gas-N. My only feedback is traditionally the Gas-N's are higher quality. But what FFR is offering now is a big upgrade over what they offered during the time of this build.
Just curious of the leg and head room, I'm 6'4".
Head room no problem. The cab is quite tall. Leg room for this build just fits me and I'm 7" shorter than you. You definitely would not fit. But, Factory Five no longer sells this version for that reason. They re-released it with a 4" longer cab. With that version and different seats you'd fit no problem. Shown at SEMA a few months ago. fb.watch/jBBE3VCsYu/
@paulborror2544 thanks for the info
Great work Paul as usual, hopefully you make this a trip to London this year.
Thanks. We will be at London this year. One of our favorite events. But not with the truck. It's a Cobra and related event. We'll be taking our Daytona Coupe.
What? No throttle whack?
Kinda hard to reach the throttle pedal when you're walking around the outside with the camera. Nothing under the hood you can pull with DBW. And the title does say "at idle." But if you insist: ua-cam.com/video/LY6-IUp3na8/v-deo.html. Same car early in the build.
Paul as always a beautiful build. Where did you get the sun visors if you don’t mind me asking ? I’d like those for my truck and I like the fire extinguisher I’m gonna copy that too. I built truck # 16 I painted the interior roll bar and flocked the interior of the cab . Every build is different that’s the beauty of ffr . Rob
The visors are Axia Alloys MODSVT-BK with 1.500 in. roll bar clamps. Available multiple places. I got them here: www.wildhorses4x4.com/category/s?keyword=3819NET.
Just saw this at the 2023 Autorama. The video does not do your car justice. It is an amazing build.
I'm hoping you've seen the new video I posted from the 2023 Autorama. This one from 2020 has obvious audio issues.
@@paulborror2544 I have not. Just found this one by accident. Thought to myself I think I have seen that car.
