The Airplane Factory Sling 2

Sport Aviation Center specializes in The Airplane Factory Sling 2

We specialize in new, used and kit versions of The Airplane Factory Sling 2, – a two-seat, low wing, all-metal aircraft with tricycle landing gear. These have become sought after, so they are hard to get. I have one for training that I use almost every day. Come by and fly with me to check out the Sling 2. It flies similar to the Sling TSI.
