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 fl y. 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 fl ies even better.
Th e 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 off ers a time between
overhauls of 2,000 hours and is the best power to weight ratio in
its class. Alternatively, the Rotax 912 iS off ers 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 fl ying and ownership experience of pilots.
Th e Sling LSA is fi tted with a Warp Drive three blade ground
adjustable propeller. Th ese propellers are more aff ordable 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 fl ying conditions.
Excellent Garmin instrumentation options make for a unique
and state-of-the-art fl ying experience at a fraction of the cost of
our certifi ed competitors. Designed from the ground up with a
touchscreen interface, the Garmin 10-inch G3X Touch fl ight display
is the smartest, most advanced large-format fl ight displays Garmin
has ever designed specifi cally 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. Th e Sling LSA
is available in both tricycle and tail wheel variants.
