“Back in the spring of 2022, we had the opportunity to fly to Johannesburg, South Africa, to fly the brand new Sling High Wing prototype. While we were there, we met airline pilot, Linda Sollars, who was assembling the very first kit under the tutelage of Sling Aircraft’s factory builder support program. She completed the airplane, then flew it across the Atlantic to Oshkosh, arriving during AirVenture 2022.
We caught up with her today as she is displaying the same aircraft at the Sling booth during AirVenture 2023, and that smile has nothing phony about it.”

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?
