Flying the Sling 2 to Grand Canyon

[@kenngross5306]

Awesome scenery and cool flying.

[@jimgaul67]

My wife and I have driven a lot of this geography...... never seen it from the air. Beautiful and I’m jealous! Safe flying!

[@marioctg]

wonderful landscapes!

[@jeandassonville8434]

Nice Video Martin. Looking forward to you coming to "Sling" again!

[@pixamite1]

Very cool view of the canyon. Love it out there.

Tolles Video. Danke fürs zeigen

Hi Martin, great video, an more sling videos coming...

[@mojogrip]

Great airplane and video. I've been looking at the Sling 4 seater. Is visibility as great as it shows in this video? Awesome camera angles btw. Thanks for sharing.

@@mojogrip just checked my KZbin channel first time since long; sorry for not getting back to you three years ago... 🤪 I saw your progress with the Sling 4. Great stuff!!! 👍👍👍 Is it already flying? Unfortunately I don’t come to the US these days, not working for Lufthansa anymore... Hope to be in Torrance again for studies at USC next year AND for flying the Sling again 😀 Last trip was in November 2019, Moab and Grand Canyon 👍 Cheerio from Switzerland, Martin

Hey thanks a lot for using our song for your video !

Bellevue The song is great, thank you for making it available. Cheerio from Switzerland Martin

Just found this song and it's incredible. Great tempo and airy feel. Amazing musical work!

[@BPD69280]

Awesome! How do you like the Sling 2? I believe that is the aircraft I am going to build. Hoping to go tour the factory in Torrance, CA in the next couple of months and hopefully get to building this fall/winter. Really nice video, I love how sporty the aircraft looks!

[@StingFlight]

Nice job! My kinda flying!

[@kylecorrow702]

I live in Vegas. I'd love to fly with you one day

[@DerPilotMann]

How is the Sling II? Looks pretty slick!

[@ryanschoeman885]

DanTheSasquatch Sling 2 is awesome to fly, it really just wants to be in the air. The control surfaces are a breeze, and being able to run it on Unleaded is a great bonus.

[@michaelrivera6989]

Thinking about making this flight someday. Mind if I get some pointers?

[@A321Flyer]

***** I did the GCN-trip already 10 times, the flight is normally something like this: TOA - Baker - Henderson - GCN / GCN - Kidwell - Hesperia - TOA. More pictures of my flights/trips can be found at my webpage: www.pohltec.ch/HikingSW_USA.html

[@A321Flyer]

Hey Michael. Did you take the Sling to GCN? Let me know how it was!

Loved the flying...Sorry but, I just had to hit the MUTE button...It doesn't look like this plane ever "took off" in the United States. Can't find much on them after about 2015. Is this yours or a rental? I really enjoyed the videography and the scenery.

[@A321Flyer]

Hi K-Man. The Sling 2 is sold through www.airplanefactory.com/ in the US and is still very popular. I have about 100 hours on the rental airplanes in Torrance (www.flyingclub.aero/). In my opinion still one of the (of not THE) best LSA airplanes of these days...

[@dh-flies]

I just went up in a Sling2! Just so happens, there's a dealer less than 30 minutes from where I live. I loved it and now I'm seriously looking to buy their demo. I've watched this video of yours like 5 times now....get back up there and do some more!!! You have way better places to fly out there than we do. But, if I get this plane I will be doing a cross country out west with it. I used to live very close to Torrance in Hermosa Beach. I almost took training at that airport 30 yrs ago.

[@A321Flyer]

@@dh-flies Did you buy the Sling2? Unfortunately I didn’t get to LA this year, lockdown in Europe and no flying to the US at all. I do my flying in Switzerland these days with an SR22...

[@dh-flies]

@@A321Flyer Actually I ended up purchasing a Bristell. I liked the Sling2 very much but as soon as I test flew the Bristell I was sold. I looked at a lot of other planes in my search. It really ended up between the Sling and the Bristell. Nothing wrong with flying a Cirrus...👍

[@doesntmatter3068]

These new slings look VERY close to 70's glasairs........hummmmm????

[@austinkent7728]

Quick question, how tall are you and how much extra head and leg room do tou have?

[@A321Flyer]

Hi Austin, I am 6' 3" tall and had plenty of headroom in the Sling 2. Legroom is very spacious too. In my opinion one of the best LSA on the market today.

[@andrewc7451]

awesome! how much is this plane?

[@A321Flyer]

Angus Steven The Airplane Factory in Torrance (KTOA) is selling the plane, infos can be found here: www.airplanefactory.com I believe the 2 seat version is something around 120k USD ready-to-fly.

[@JakeLevesquecreate]

how tall are you

[@A321Flyer]

I am 1.88 m tall, that’s 6 feet 2 inches. Sling 2 has more than enough room, even for taller pilots 👍 In my opinion one of the best LSA if not THE BEST!!!

[@JakeLevesquecreate]

Thanks for the response, I’m 6’4 and am thinking about becoming a pilot. Are you in Vegas?

[@A321Flyer]

@@JakeLevesquecreate6ft4in is no issue with the Sling2! No, I am Swiss living in Switzerland 🇨🇭... I used to fly to LA quite often when still being a pilot for Lufthansa. These days I work as an accident investigator for the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board. I come to the US and LA area only occasionally, once a year...

[@A321Flyer]

@@JakeLevesquecreate The Sling2 is a fantastic airplane for pilot training! Just try it, flying is absolutely tempting!!! 👍👍👍
