“Today we got our first chance to fly the new High Wing Sling, two different versions, in fact! Sling has been flying the tricycle-gear version for quite a while now and has considerable experience with it. The taildragger version is newer, having been finished more recently, and is still undergoing some tweaking when it comes to gear location and tailwheel installation. But we can report that they are both very good aircraft, with a great deal of engineering expertise behind them that shows.”

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?
