“Sling Aircraft (formally known as The Airplane Factory), based at Tedderfield Airpark in the south of Johannesburg, is quickly becoming a giant slayer in the kitplane market, exporting kits and aircraft to various countries around the world.
The Comaro Chronicle recently visited the factory to learn more about its beginning, the around the world flights as well as the future of the Sling.
Apart from the factory at Tedderfield Airpark, Sling also has a factory in Alrode that cuts and make spare parts for the aircraft. Spares are then moved from the Alrode factory to Tedderfield where they are assembled.”
– Stefan Coetzer (The Comaro Chronicle)
