“It has been an important experience to see the Sling on exhibition over here in Oshkosh and to spend time with Mike Blyth at the show stand. The Sling is undoubtedly a huge South African success story, complete with MGL avionics! Someone has whispered in my ear that now that serial number 100 has been issued, there is going to be a huge party at Tedderfield in September. Regards, Athol Terence.”

“Yes, I can second Athol’s words. We at MGL are proud of the Sling and even more so since most of them feature our panels. As most of you know, MGL took delivery of a Sling a while back to take up duty as research and development platform for our new avionics. I absolutely have to state something I do not do often: “I got more than I thought I would”. The Sling is simply outstanding in every respect. Well designed and well built. It is difficult to envision how it would be possible to improve her without taking something away somewhere else – and that is the key: A term often misused but entirely applicable here: “Superbly Balanced”. This is the Porsche 911 of the sky. Not the fastest, not the prettiest, not the biggest, not the most expensive – but something that just hits all the right buttons and brings a smile to my face every time I take to the skies. Now the Sling is facing it’s real test: How will she do oversees with so much competition. I know it will be a success. It brings together two important things: Good product, good people. It needs both to succeed. It has both. Enthusiasm in spades… Rainier”
