We had the pleasure of hosting Captain Linda Sollars at Sling Pilot Academy for the 2nd time and she walked us through the build process of her beautiful Sling High Wing named Zenzele. This presentation covers joining the airlines, being a women in aviation, building a High Wing in South Africa, and flying it to Oshkosh last year.

Excellent. I don't usually watch hour-long videos, but I watched and enjoyed this one from start to finish.

This presentation is full of great experiences, advice, and knowledge you don't want to miss. Glad you enjoyed it!

Designing/choosing a paint scheme is definitely the hardest part of the build!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Linda! When you talked about being prepared, it reminded me of something often said about what makes “Special Forces” so “special”… Regular military forces make sure they meet minimum standards, and train to be able to do it right. Special Forces train until they can’t do it wrong. It’s good perspective to check your own personal training standards against. Are we trying to meet FAA minimums or are we trying to be experts in the field? I love how involved you were in the build and how well you know your aircraft. Flying on that confidence had to feel so great!

My first GPS was a hand held with a liquid quart stick figured 3 inch display.

Wow… it’s settled in my mind that the HW is the perfect plane for me.

@@lindasollars Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I'm like you, I've have believed Rotax are the best GA engines for sometime... and I've been looking for the perfect airframe to meet my mission. The Sling High Wing looks to be perfect solution.

If the MOSAIC rules changing the limitations for LSAs goes into effect and the High Wing fits those limitations, will US customers be able to purchase a factory built airplane and not have to build it?

@SlingPilotAcademy 8 месяцев назад

Great question! It is in consideration but a long way off for now.

@budowens6478 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. What kind of oil do you use in the Rotax engine?

@SlingPilotAcademy 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for asking - the Sling LSA Operating Handbook says to use "automotive grade API "SG" type oil, or higher, preferably synthetic, or semi-synthetic. When operating on unleaded fuels or MOGAS, fully synthetic oil is recommended". At Sling Pilot Academy we use Aeroshell Sport Plus 4 Engine Oil.

@lindasollars 7 месяцев назад
