AIRPLANES FOR SALE

All of our used Sling 2 LSA that are not in our flight/demo school are sold. There is a huge demand for them so we are only selling new ones now. We have settled on the Sling 2 Light Sport Aircraft because it meets our criteria of mostly metal, tricycle gear, great handling, low wing, Rotax 912iS fuel-injected engine, US factory within an easy flight, and it is offered in S-LSA, E-LSA and kit versions.

Dual classical “stick” controls, coordinated handling, slide back canopy, amazing visibility and especially the 40 gallon fuel tanks make a huge difference in the Sling LSA verses other LSA.

It should also be noted that with the updated MOSAIC, the existing Sling 2 will be upgraded to carry an extra 220 pounds since they are designed and build to that specification. They have been “papered down” from 1540 pounds to 1320 pounds simply to fit into the current LSA category. This is a huge advantage to buy one now and get the usable load upgrade soon.

People who fly this airplane love it for its easy handling, and we’ve found it to be a great trainer airplane. The beefy landing gear has proven itself for those “students learning to land”  and provide the extra margin of safety for the Sport, Private, Commercial and ATP pilot.

If you are shopping around, here is the feedback from others have been shopping around and what they have told me about the Sling 2 LSA:

After dealing with others and hearing the points my customers provide, this is what they say about the Sling 2 LSA verses other LSA they have evaluated:

• Fit and finish superior
• Technically advanced airplane for commercial training (with autopilot option)
• Superb visibility
• Seats easy to adjust for different sizes people
• Handling is great, balanced and intuitive
• Slide back canopy eliminates the “flip up” canopy wind problem.
• 40 gallons of fuel in the wing is great (Tank in cockpit heats up and creates vapor lock problems. Fuel in wings cools as altitude increases).
• Only fuel injected engines now for better reliability, less fuel consumption and less maintenance.
• Rotax prefers Autogas 91 (note sling is designed for Autogas and 100LL
• Nose wheel steering much better for pilots and training
• Max gross weight will go up 220 pounds with MOSAIC since it engineered/built as E-LSA 1540 lbs.

I can tell you from my more than 5000 hours in a flight school/rental experience:

• Service and parts from LA factory is excellent. Especially for a flight school who does not want to be down.
• Beefed up landing gear, front and back, is great for training
• Metal construction is best for maintenance and can be tied down outside.
• Loves 91 Autogas (with ethanol) and easy to fill with 5 gallon portable gas cans. Typically 10 gallons gets you 10/3.4 almost 3 hours.
