The world has been clamouring to see the Sling High Wings, and the obvious place to show them off is at the annual EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh. However, Covid got in the way. Plans to fly the prototype ‘nosedragger’ to Oshkosh in 2021 had to be abandoned at the last minute due to the Covid Delta Variant which broke out just weeks before departure.
In the intervening year, the factory was busy with a build assist programme to complete two High Wings for the American market – and one is a taildragger. So, the perfect opportunity arose to complete and fly – not just one, but three Sling High Wings to Osh.”
