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. All my used Sling Airplanes are sold out so I specialize in selling the new Sling 2 LSA. I now have two Sling 2 LSA 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.
