What a charming, knowledgeable, passionate pilot. A real pleasure listening to her talk about her new baby. Best Sling sales person ever.

[@peterwang3052]

At first i just gave this a thumbs up, but realized Linda deserve so much more. She it the greatest ambassador for Sling and should get her airplane for free. So professional and i like her extras added to the plane. Best thing Sling can do is to ban the CEO from making anything related to marketing, this guy is simply not good at it.

What an incredible lady and an impressive build specification of the Sling High Wing!

NICE Plane......... EAA showcased the Oshkosh arrival and what an accomplishment...... Congratulations👏👏👏👏👏

[@gary5481]

It's always wonderful to hear a woman, speak with authority, insight & an in depth knowledge on technical matters. This is a woman that is hands on & knows every inch of her aircraft. Congratulations too to Mike Blythe & his great team at Sling for producing this amazing aeroplane.

Totally amazing aircraft and a wonderful look at it! Thank you. Well done one and all. Sling will need to offer a one-stop “Sollars” version, it’s so terrific!

[@kmg501]

That hammock ability is really neat.

[@ianlevy8765]

Wow! … and Wow again! Stunning in all ways.

[@woodygordon5071]

That livery/paint scheme tho !!! 🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️❤️❤️. I salute you captain !

[@wvbosch]

Awesome aircraft!

[@user-ej9jq2zf1y]

Such a beautiful aircraft! I like the way low wing planes look but still think I would want a high wing if I had to choose between the two! Love these colors and design!

[@woodygordon5071]

For a factory built aircraft sling should make the lights and climate controls overhead standard . Love the idea 💡

[@swim2kill]

That's awesome I am excited for her

[@lescleaver3113]

yeah i think i want one just like she built hers .. . it will be expensive but worth it

[@RussellKempster]

Following!!!

Beautiful plane. Have you published any videos or pictures of the finished plane? I'm 71 and just getting started, so I'm probably a couple/three years from getting something like this. I'm thinking about starting with a Pipistrel Sinus or Virus, to get lots of time in, but of course, those are not really meant for comfortable travel. I would be interested in any updates you share with the world. Thanks Dave

Pictures will be in our September edition and there will be many at Oshkosh taken if you google.

Why would you cross the Atlantic Ocean from Africa and land in Florida when Maine is actually closer to Africa? Why would you not take the shortest route across the Atlantic?

[@stewie84]

Linda, I need to know you. I want to build a Sling High Wing and take it to Oshkosh by 2030. Please DM if you’re open to talking. Thanks!

[@tdgdbs1]

Quite a testament from an aviator with 12000 hrs on commercial jets. TSi is nice but I am older and climbing is no longer a sport, so high wing is the way to go.

[@P51]

i wonder what the cost of this fine machine is?

[@pilotavery]

$250,000 for a basic one with half decent features and an autopilot but the way hers is set up, probably $350,000

[@mickeydoolittle2057]

Nice plane, but needs more hp. 140 ish hp isn’t going to do it…

[@flexairz]

And proven wrong..

[@mickeydoolittle2057]

@@flexairz it’s a four seater right? Not gonna be able to carry 4 people with 140 hp. Especially if they want to bring some bags….

[@Captndarty]

@@flexairz it’s over 10kts slower than the TSi so you’re proven wrong.
