The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“Designed in South Africa, the good-looking Sling 4 TSi is a four-seat, single-engine, fixed tricycle undercarriage, aluminium aircraft of semi-monocoque construction with a conventional low-wing design. I was fortunate enough to be offered the chance to evaluate the aircraft for Light Aviation, and flew two flights out of Thruxton.”
– Chris Taylor (Light Aircraft Association)
The adventure continues! For once, there are no border crossings to navigate, no custom stops, and no major travel plans on the schedule. Just a quiet day at home. Naturally, that doesn’t last long… When Sling Chief Test Pilot, Riaan Denner, has an idea, you know things are about to get interesting. In this episode, Josh and Chelsea take to the skies over Johannesburg for some banner towing, go behind the scenes at the incredible Jonker Sailplanes factory, make a completely unplanned stop to meet a very special young zebra, and then set off on the next major leg of the journey — heading south towards Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town.
