Sling 2 Test Flight

Had opportunity to test fly the Sling 2. great little airplane with plenty of capabilities. Did some stalls, lazy eights, steep turns, and taxi turns. Even rolled a little Dutch. Departed North Perry - KHWO, landed Miami Homestead - KX51, and then back to KHWO.
The Preflight is at double speed. to change video speeds on youtube you can click the little gear icon in the bottom right or hold down shift and tap the angle brackets.

wow what an aircraft, thinking of doing my first lesson / flight discovery in this plane at my local airport.

I highly recommend it. Great little airplane with gentle characteristics and fantastic fuel economy. You'll have an easy transition to low wings like pipers. And high wings like Cessnas kind of fly themselves once you understand flight. Which you'll learn in the Sling doing long cross countrys sipping fuel like hot espresso.

@@mikeSierraisking thanks! just have to fight my nerves first before I can enjoy flying in these small aircraft. I've been flight simming for many years but I suppose the real world is totally different.

You'll be pleasantly surprised @clayton4115 . I used Sims extensively in my training. They were invaluable for instrument training. And you can practice flying in to airports before you go there. It's like cheating, but they encourage it and call it Single Pilot Resource Management.

@@mikeSierraisking sounds very encouraging hopefully it will help with my initial VFR flying as well.
