Exciting news from our French Sling community! Our dedicated distributor, Sylvain Henneton of Jetlag Group, has been making waves with the Sling TSi, gaining well-deserved recognition across France. Recently, the Aeroclub Montalbanais published a 9-page article featuring a Sling TSi built at Sylvain’s premises, highlighting the aircraft’s performance and appeal.
Adding to the momentum, the latest edition of Info Pilote magazine, a major French aeronautical magazine and the official publication of the French Light Aviation Federation, has given the Sling TSi a prestigious cover feature as well as a 10-page article! This article dives into the journey of the first Sling TSi to take flight in France, a build made possible in Sylvain’s workshop alongside the owner and builder of the first Sling High Wing (SN#015) in the country.
With anticipation building for homologation in France, this coverage is a testament to the growing enthusiasm for Sling aircraft in the region. While both articles are in French, we encourage our France-based Slingers to check them out. And if you’re dreaming of owning a Sling yourself, don’t hesitate to reach out to our trusted French distributor to make it happen!

It’s go‑time! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wide‑open Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and we’re answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for what’s become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.
There’s still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasn’t claimed… This isn’t a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And he’s chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is — when he rolls up to the start line… will you be there with him?
