“And now for something completely different.” It was a line from that brilliant 1970s British television comedy show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but it could just as easily be used to introduce The Airplane Factory’s new, fits-into-its-own-niche airplane, the cheeky Sling 4.
The Sling 4 Is Joy in a Kit
Key Takeaways:
- The Sling 4 is a four-place experimental aircraft praised for uniquely combining a substantial useful load, exceptional fuel efficiency (under 6 gph on mogas), and comfortable, modern features at a fraction of the cost of comparable certified airplanes.
- Derived from the successful Sling 2, it boasts a turbocharged Rotax engine, a cruise speed of around 125 knots, and is particularly noted for its precise, harmonious handling characteristics.
- Available as a kit aircraft with various build options, including factory-assisted "turbo-build" programs, it offers an accessible and economical path to owning a versatile four-seat airplane, filling a distinctive niche in the market.
