Sling TSI down in Cali

[slingpilot]

Sad to report a Sling TSI, one of, if not the first TSI in the US crashed after take off from KTOA (Torrance). Two souls on board reported injured. This is all I’ve got at the moment.

I know the owner, but not sure who was flying, as the aircraft is attached to the Sling Academy Flight school and could have been flown by a student and instructor. Prayers…

I read it was N135WT. That plane has been on YouTube for years . Rumor is it was on it 3rd Rotax 915 engine. I hope both are ok.

Watching the video it looks like they turned in too tightly and stalled the wing—no altitude to recover. 😥😥
