“Grant Raubenheimer’ s Sling serial number 029 took to the skies for the very first time today at 16h22 the 29th of February! Test pilot Mike Blyth says she flies beautifully and we all agree the Aveo strobes Grant has fitted are brilliant. Congratulations Grant on an excellent build! We hope you love her.”

11-13 May 2012, an event such as this should not to be MISSED!

Hi all. For any Sling enthusiasts, potential buyers, flights schools or students who want to see the Sling in the flesh, Mike will be spending a week flying around the country visiting flight schools. The itinerary for now is the following.   Monday 6 February Nelspruit from 08h00 – 11h00 Monday 6 February Richards Bay

Just a reminder that the tv insert of the exploits of the Flyboys from The Airplane Factory will be shown on Carte Blanche (MTN) tonight at 7pm.  It’s fun and inspirational and not to be missed.

Our first Sling 2 destined for The States have left our factory.

Guys please take a look at how incredibly sexy the first flush riveted Sling looks! Congrats Rainier Lamers

Errol came through to collect his Sling kit for shipping to Australia.

One of our proud Sling kit owners, Hennie Prinsloo, is making good progress with his Sling 2 kit.

Ever wondered what a complete Sling kit looks like? Well here is Errol van Rensburg’s kit ready for shipping to Australia.

Happy Birthday to Jan Basson, one of our loyal and hardworking staff members. From The Airplane Factory
