    Hi everyone,
    Thank you all for the incredibly kind and positive comments on our Long way South Series, we truly appreciate all the support from around the world!
    At the very end of the series we want to make a video about how we planned the journey, and what our final take is on such an endeavour.
    In this video we’d like to answer the many questions we’ve gotten so far. If you have anything in specific you’d like us to talk about, please do not hesitate to share the questions below. We’ll do our best to answer as much as possible in the final video.
    Love,
    Rosita and Maurits

    I always have my leatherman Titanium multitool on my belt. When my wife gave it to me on my birthday years ago I wondered what the heck she was thinking. I tell you there is rarely a day that passes that I dont use it. Lovely video as always. Love your smile and energy Bambi. I see you are already in SA. Looking forward to seeing the other videos. Regards from Port Elizabeth.

    One thing I always pack before I go flying is a pen and a notebook, of course I'm still a student pilot so making notes when and where you can does come in handy. I do however hardly ever touch it which is a behaviour I should probably change just to make life that bit easier.

    Sentimental old fart that I am, I'm watching this through tears. My distant connection with the Sling, is that my brother was killed in 1993 in a Microlight, built by Mike Blythe, in which the wing & undercarriage separated after a hard landing. Mike was involved in the accident investigation. My brother's best friend Jean, was involved in the initial development work on the Sling & is currently co CEO of the Sling Academy in California. Another friend of mine who was a fighter pilot & test pilot in the South African Air Force has also tested the high wing & he has nothing but praise for the aircraft.
