shafs64 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 hay guys has anyone in this forum flown the sling 2 at go fly caloundra. Paul
davebutler Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Not the one at Caloundra but have flown the one at Heck Field ( from the RH seat). Great aeroplane:smile:
shafs64 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 I flew it for the first time yesterday and I agree its a very nice Plane. it has a fuel injected rotax that is very responsive. CS prop and very roomy
DrZoos Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I flew the 19 rego one at heck and its a very very nice plane. Very room , well behaved in stalls, lovely to take off and land. So im imagining other then the 912is its pretty similar. Definitely worth a look for any low wing prospective buyers. Its useable weight was also excellent, visibility excellent and finish quality very high. My only complaint was the radio was absolutely woeful. For someone wanting a touring aircraft its pretty roomy and high useable weight, plus pretty respectable speed makes it worth a look. I almost regret not buying one. 1
shafs64 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 its very well behaved in the stall. we held it in the stall and it would still recover all on its own with full back still. it feels like a piper worrior. but with power
Gnarly Gnu Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 ... the sling 2 at go fly caloundra. I checked their website and they don't mention this aircraft...?
shafs64 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 here you go http://www.goflyaviation.com.au/aircraft.html 1
shafs64 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Was out at caloundra doing some engine failure practice and short field work. also having a lot of fun with the sink over runway 12 pictures of the sling also its just a dream to fly. 5
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Great cockpit (sorry, flight- deck ala the airlines) ergonomics there...everything right in front and easily accessed, especially the breakers.....This is a great example of a very safe cockpit layout..................Maj....
dazza 38 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 yeah only 380 hrs It's only been there for 4 or 5 months. Seems to popular
shafs64 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 yes Maj its great to have all the T and Ps right in front of you.
shafs64 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 yes dazza it always seems to be booked 6hrs today it was a bit quiet at caloundra the only other RAA aircraft flying was the sports star. but that could of been due to the weather.
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Well I believe that an aircraft that is easy to operate and fly will be very successfull as a rental aircraft, and this one looks like a winner to me.....People who spend hard-earned cash on renting aircraft, don't want dramas, they just want to fly and enjoy it.........Maj.....
dazza 38 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I have flown the aircraft myself but from all reports, it is very nice to fly
Ballpoint 246niner Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 We love it and expect to have Second one later this year. Errol is a great distributor and we have taught ab initio in it as well as heaps of conversions. A breath of fresh air in the LSA market. 3 1
DrZoos Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yes Errol could teach a few other importers / dealers a lot of lessons in customer service / support. He is one fantastic rep for the sling and after meeting him and flying with him it wont surprise me if there are many many more Slings around in the near future. 1 1
Yenn Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I like the ASI and I suppose altimeter with ball, just in case the glass gauges fail.

JUSTNUZZA Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I What did happen It looks like someone got their paint scheme inspiration from my aircraft.
