Slinging Down Under

Australian private pilot flying the Sling TSi I built myself. Slinging Down Under follows real Australian flying in a homebuilt aircraft — cross-country adventures, family trips, remote airstrips, weather decisions, IFR learning, real costs, maintenance, mistakes and lessons from using the plane for real life.

What you’ll find:
• Flying the plane I built across Australia
• Real Sling TSi costs, maintenance and ownership lessons
• Pilot decision breakdowns, weather calls and IFR training
• Family flying and practical travel in a homebuilt aircraft
• The full build-assist journey from kit to first flight

Based in Australia | Flying since 2023 | Aircraft: Sling TSi / Rotax 916iS | Private Pilot working toward IFR.

The build was the beginning. Now I’m finding out what this plane can really do.
