“How do you find out what’s a hot choice for UK kit-builders? Well, in the case of this list, it was just a matter of counting up the new project registrations made between January 2020 and December 2021. A two-year snapshot of what’s been catching the eye of LAA members.
Some are no surprise, and have been steadfast choices of builders for more than 20 years, while others are so new that they’re only just being issued with their full LAA approval. That hasn’t stopped members from placing their orders though.”
– Ed Hicks (Light Aircraft Association Magazine)
Ed Hicks takes a look at what’s been heading up new LAA project registrations in the last two years and of course, our Sling TSi, which has caught the attention of many builders, takes 1st prize followed by our Sling 2 with 7th place!
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?
