Hi there! My name is Cyrus, and I started building a Sling TSi from The Airplane Factory/Sling at the start of 2021. I live on Florida’s Space Coast, and have the privilege of being able to watch rockets take off and land from where I’m building.
Professionally, I’m an IT guy, and am also in the USCG reserves. I have a lot of other varied interests from running, Crossfit, computer gaming (KSP anyone?) and designing and building custom gaming controllers for simulators. I have a never-really-complete 3d printing, laser & CNC shop that shares space with my build space, so plan seeing some custom components where they make sense. I intend to use this build to not only complete and fly an airplane, but also learn some new building techniques and enhance my knowledgebase.
This TSi is my first aircraft build, and the first aircraft I’ve owned. I’m looking forward to learning a lot, building community as well as getting this thing in the air (eventually.)
