“Keen to show off their new High Wing variation of the well-regarded low-wing Sling TSi, South African airframer, Sling Aircraft, has done so in spectacular fashion by flying the prototype and production serial numbers one and two from Johannesburg, South Africa to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. While the official statistics will come soon enough, the first look at the numbers say the trip took 67.5 flying hours over 10 days.”

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?
