Where Adventure meets Innovation

Sling Aircraft is the culmination of a relentless pursuit to create the ultimate light sport aircraft.

Sling’s production process is a seamless blend of craftsmanship and innovation. Detailed parts are assembled into aircraft sub-assemblies, incorporating cutting-edge aerodynamic design, structural integrity, systems integration and tooling development. Our composite shop meticulously crafts lightweight components, while our spray shop and expert painters provide fully customisable aircraft finishes to match owner specifications. The final assembly of avionics and engines are completed by highly trained technicians and engineers, followed by rigorous test flights of approximately five hours. Sling interiors, featuring premium leather and lavish carpeting, are available in four elegant colour palettes. Cast Iron, Red Velvet, Indigo Sky and Cloud Burst with complementing stitching, piping and paneling.

Our aircraft kits, available in both complete and quick-build formats, are designed to streamline the construction process while maintaining compliance with the 51% rule.

SLING LSA

OVERVIEW

The Sling LSA is based on the tried and tested Sling 2 – an aircraft which has been plying its trade in flight schools both locally and internationally for the past 14 years. Collectively, these aircraft have logged hundreds of thousands of hours in this environment, with some now exceeding 9,000 hours of abuse. The Sling LSA is an evolution of the brand, specifically designed to satisfy the demands of modern-day flight school operations.

Built entirely with a robust all-metal construction, the aircraft is well suited to the rigours of the flight school environment. The low wing layout provides for predictable handling while still being a ‘stick and rudder’ aircraft. The Sling LSA demands more finesse and ‘stick and rudder’ skill, compared to the Cessna 172, which is a great flight training aircraft trait.

INTERIOR

A TRULY FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

 

The Sling LSA’s sublime and beautifully appointed interior provides executive two-seat comfort. In order to handle the harsh treatment of the flight training environment, the Sling LSA interior is fitted with hardwearing materials and comes standard with authentic leather seat covers.

With its lavish carpeting, the Sling LSA certainly shows an elegance that adds a touch of class to aircraft interiors. In addition, the canopy interior has a foldable heatshield for occupant protection and comfort on hotter days.

POWERPLANT

YOUR SLING LSA IS POWERED BY A ROTAX 912 iS ENGINE
 
This engine is the ideal power plant due to its reliability and great fuel efficiency. A fuel burn of between 3-4 gallons per hour offers up to 10-hours endurance, which is ideal in a training school environment. The 2,000-hour TBO provides for extended maintenance intervals, and the 100-hour MPI takes no longer than a day to perform, providing for minimum aircraft down time. All this contributes to the highly important low operating costs imperative for high-hour flight school operations.

DUC PROPELLER

EQUIPPED WITH THE 3-BLADE DUC FLASH PROPELLERS

 

3-Blade DUC flash propellers deliver excellent climb performance and smooth, efficient operation.

 

The lightweight composite construction reduces vibration and enhances comfort in flight, while the ground-adjustable pitch allows easy optimization for different mission profiles—ultimately improving overall reliability, speed, and versatility.

AVIONICS

EXCELLENT INSTRUMENTATION OPTIONS MAKE FOR A UNIQUE AND STATE-OF-THE-ART FLYING EXPERIENCE
AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF OUR COMPETITORS.

The Sling LSA has a premium Garmin avionics suite. This includes the G3X full primary flight display with optional second MFD, G5 backup flight display, GTX45R ADS-B in and out transponder, paired with a GTN 650 Xi GPS / NAV / COMM / MFD navigator and Autopilot with GMC507 control panel completing the line-up. This set-up is so advanced, that the FAA has deemed the Sling LSA as a Technically Advanced Airplane (TAA). The FAA recently changed the Commercial Pilot requirement for 10 hours of ‘complex’ time to include training in a TAA. They understand that managing systems, whether it be a landing gear control or a complex avionics system with an autopilot, teaches a pilot to cope with complexity that can be transferred to other complex airplane systems. Therefore, a student can now receive all training from ab-initio through PPL and take on the Commercial Pilot check ride in the Sling LSA, as it is a TAA.

PHOTOGALLERY

SLING 2

OVERVIEW

The Sling 2 was built for heroic adventure. Her 2009 maiden voyage flew Sling founders Mike Blyth and James Pitman Around-The-World (ATW). A 40-day, 45,000 km journey that included 22-hour legs of the severest of weather conditions. Her aluminium airframe makes for ease and consistency of construction, while offering proven strength and a longer lifespan than most composite rivals.

Designed to be a perfectly balanced aircraft, the Sling 2 is a sexy looker that would out-perform other aircraft in its class while being highly economical and fun to fly.

Being a stressed-skin, semi-monocoque aircraft, the Sling 2 is made to precise standards from aviation grade aluminium, punched using CNC machines. Rugged aluminium lines, combined with cutting-edge tech advances, ensure that the Sling looks the way an aircraft should and flies even better.
