    As a Sling 2 owner here in the US, I’m proud to say that my Sling was built at the factory, it’s a work of art.

    I’m about halfway through building my TSi from a kit and it is a fantastic experience working on this very well designed and manufactured aircraft.

    I am a Sling 2 owner in US and I LOVE my Experimental Amateur Built, 912ULS, dual G3X Touch, GTN625, IFR machine. A masterpiece design and gets over 22 mpg!

    Such a great company from endless counts of housekeeping compliments to over all company structure. This company is rock solid, an idol to not only other companies but personally aswell. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Always great to see your success. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a sling myself, hah!

    Amazing how many jobs they created since the first prototype which I first saw at Oshkosh during their around the world flight. Nothing half-arsed about this company!

    Great work guys. Any future development in an electric version. Or something similar to the Jetson one. Would be epic to see a South African in the ring.

    Is the engine overhauled or is it completely replaced at 2,000 hours? Or do you put a new engine in while the old one is being overhauled?

    So it sounded like other countries can have a complete sling tsi built and delivered. Is this true?

    Since most people don’t want to be grounded for months, while the engine is overhauled, it’s probably a change out with an overhauled engine.

    Interesting, but I have to say: Your people look like they are working in slow motion AND way too much hand work.

    Remember, if you’ve never made a video to show customers your process, you don’t rush through procedures, you take your time, so the camera man can pick the best parts. Most likely they don’t take a minute to measure something when they don’t have lights and cameras on them. Anybody with common sense knows that. Looks like they’re doing a great job.
