“Slingers, friends, family and supporters came together to welcome home the Sling High Wing (SHW) Heroes as they touched down at Tedderfield Airpark in Eikenhof, as well as to celebrate the sale of the 1,000th Sling Aircraft on November 12th.
This follows the lengthy travels of James Pitman, Juan Peter Schulze, Linda Sollars, Matt Cohen and Mike Blyth and William Stiles from Sling HQ in South Africa to AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin, USA.”

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?
