The team went to Top Farm to see UK distributor Tim Hardy, and to grab a couple of flights in the Sling HW before it flew back to South Africa Read the full story here flyer.co.uk/fe...
Ian, your comment about it being dark in South Africa is not a joke . We are currently undergoing another wave of what is known as "loadshedding" where the power is cut according to a schedule. Depending on the level of loadshedding it can be up to 3 times per day for about two hours each. Our area should go off about 22:00 and come back on after 22:00. If it carries on for the rest of the week I will miss the livestream and will have to watch it on Friday. If you can afford it a generator is bought or the whole house goes solar, if not it's candlelight.🤐
Who would want to sleep in it? Chunky landing gear... quite the critic. I LOVE this beautiful and perfect for what it is aircraft. I'd love to have a taildragger or amphobian TSI HW and sleep in it way off grid, catching fish in a lake with no roads to it.
That's a nice looking aircraft (and I don't normally prefer high wing). More of these sort of videos would be good, however, may I suggest a better sound system to enable viewers to hear what you are saying. I'm sure there are plenty of RUclipsrs out there doing flying videos, who could advise on equipment.
2:28 😂🙈 You have no idea!

Thanks, which bits were difficult to understand?
@@FLYERTV The discussion while you were flying.
915 iS! 😁Was that the Millbrook test track? I run around the perimeter occasionally, not too far from me.
This or the Vans RV15?
Is it a “true” 4-place?
I've never seen one but with a 45" wide cabin and a 450kg useful load (992lbs), I'd say it qualifies.
Compare it to a 172?
That might be a better comparison. There were many in the market making the 182 comparison, and we arrived for the test in a 182…
