Right! Except I'm also a potential customer who is seriously interested in building one of these aircraft.

You both are right. But I think there is more to compare. Both these aircraft fit similar mission profile and they cost about the same, both the kit and used. The RV-10 is the better performer hands down. But the Sling 4 is expected to be fitted with the New Rotax 915 later this year (hoping to...

I recently reviewed both these aircraft and I think some of the stats do stack up against each other depending on who’s looking and what you’re comparing. Here are somethings to consider

Thanks how long is the typical bus ride?

I'm going with my wife so I'd prefer a proper room for 2. No haven't rented a car yet, still considering other means of transportation. Thanks.

This is my first Oshkosh trip and I will be flying commercial. Can you please tell me the closest airport that's within 1-2 hours driving distance to Oshkosh? Would appreciate some suggestions of close areas to stay as well. Thank you.

Not sure if I would initially but I'd love to get my TD endorsement at some point.

Just verbally walk him through everything you're doing in the cockpit (as you do it). I've found that to be helpful. That said, some people will take flight experience in a small aircraft much differently than others. I remember my wife coming with me on her first flight. To my delight she was...

Why the rush? lol so much studying coming trust me. You need to do NOTHING for your first flight in my opinion. Just have a good meal and get ready to have your mind blown. By that, I mean you will be digesting an overwhelming amount of information. And don't get too stressed about ATC or...

When I first read your post, I had a few suggestions, but then after reading this response you posted, I can see some glaring reasons why you've been having this challenge. First thing I'd like to say to you is congrats! and screw some of the comments some people posted here. You're almost...

Yea only in sports lol

Statistically flying is actually more safe than driving a car. Now that's open to several interpretations. But to answer your question, flying is as safe as the Pilot behind the wheels. In my experience pilots are some of the most generous people I know but we are also some of the most arrogant...

Here are my 5 safety tips for every Pilot or Pilot in training. I explain my points futher in the video Let me know your thoughts or experiences. 1. Be a Defensive Pilot 2. Check your Fatigue level before each flight 3. ATC is not always right 4. Don’t be a Jerk 5. Respect Mother Nature

Here's an interesting read on FADEC engines http://www.avia-it.com/act/la_tecnica/la_tecnica_di_oggi/Tecnica_oggi_2014/Segnalazione_articoli_Ott/Pilots_Killed_Piston_Engine_FADEC_Advances.pdf

By designs, I mean interior design and ergonomics. And in terms of Innovations, I like what manufacturers like Pipistrel and Diamond are doing. Mooney started something great with the M10 program and sadly that's already been suspended or shut down for good. Cool innovations like 'FADEC' for...

Okay I understand a simple scratch on the body frame can mean going back to the drawing board. But my curiosity is; where does most of that cost go into? is it design, fees or testing of prototypes? and then you still have to have some budget for marketing. I ask these questions because as...

Lol of course experimental category is a breeze compared to factory certified

Just curious. I see a lot of airplane prototypes take a long time to market or they just get stuck in the certification process for years. I've had conversations with a few pilots and I've heard cost numbers as high as $100 million to get an airplane certified. And I mean actual certified...

Possibly I'm planning to go up flying with him later this month so I can gauge the numbers myself. At what altitudes do you usually cruise at 165KTS?

I've come to realize that some of us just take life way too seriously. So I appreciate your comment there. To your second comment about the video, I don't depend on the forum to generate views as you suggested. 99% of my video views comes from Youtube itself. I only post on this forum because I...
