The Sling Squawk – June 2026
7 Jun 2026
“The latest version of the phenomenally successful Sling series is the Sling TSi. Such has been the demand that it has taken us almost a year to do a proper flight test review and air to air photo shoot.
It is a really fantastic little plane – a true delight to fly, with astounding flight instruments and responsive and delightfully light controls that make you feel at one with the machine. And best of all – at about R3 million ready to fly with a high specification, it’s a worthy competitor to type-certified four seaters that are three times as expensive to buy and run.”
-Guy Leitch (SA Flyer)
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.
