SLING LSA

-

Based on the tried and tested, highly acclaimed Sling 2, the Sling LSA was built for heroic adventure. Designed to be a perfectly balanced aircraft, the Sling LSA 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 LSA is made to precise standards from aviation grade aluminium, punched using CNC machines. All aluminium parts are Alodined and primed between surfaces providing for robust anti-corrosion protection. Rugged aluminium lines, combined with cutting-edge tech advances, ensure that the Sling LSA looks the way an aircraft should and flies even better.

The Sling LSA can be personalis­ed using numerous standard or complex paint scheme design options. Sublime and beautifull­y appointed, the Sling LSA’s interior features executive two seat comfort. Enveloped in authentic leather and lavish carpeting, the Sling LSA stands out with an elegance that adds a touch of class to aircraft interiors.

Powered by the 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS, which offers a time between overhauls of 2,000 hours and is the best power to weight ratio in its class. Alternativ­ely, the Rotax 912 iS offers all the well-known advantages of the Rotax 4-stroke engine series as well as additional features including a 20-30% reduction in fuel consumptio­n which will ultimately enhance the flying and ownership experience of pilots.

The Sling LSA is fitted with a Warp Drive three blade ground adjustable propeller. These propellers are more affordable and lighter in weight when compared to a constant speed propeller.

Ground-adjustable propellers mean that pitch changes can be made on the ground to optimise the aircraft for mission requiremen­ts, payload and flying conditions.

Excellent Garmin instrument­ation options make for a unique and state-of-the-art flying experience at a fraction of the cost of our certified competitor­s. Designed from the ground up with a touchscree­n interface, the Garmin 10-inch G3X Touch flight display is the smartest, most advanced large-format flight displays Garmin has ever designed specifical­ly for LSA and amateur-built aircraft. As a result, the integratio­n and versatilit­y provided by the G3X Touch make it the ideal panel layout for your Sling Aircraft. The Sling LSA is available in both tricycle and tail wheel variants.
