The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“I’ve always been fascinated with airplanes. I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where there were barely any roads. When my sisters and I walked to school, I’d see airplanes flying above us. I’d be envious of whoever was in the plane because we were down in the ground, walking in mud. My dream plane – it’s actually on my dream board, this collage of aspirational images I keep in my office – is a four-seater kit plane from The Airplane Factory called the Sling TSi.” – MojoGrip
A great article by Popular Mechanics as they interview, YouTube vlogger, MojoGrip, on his Sling TSi build in their April edition.
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.
