“BRP-Rotax is pleased to announce a new initiative specially tailored to the needs of flight school operators all over the world. Becoming a Rotax-powered Flight School adds value to the business, staff, and of course the students.
We welcome the first member of the “We fly Rotax” programme, the Sling Pilot Academy located in California, USA. We had an interview with one of the CEO’s, Matt Liknaitzky, who talked with us about his experience with Rotax engines and his expectations for the future.”

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?
