The moment of truth is here! We pushed the limits with the upgraded Sling TSi featuring the powerful Rotax 916 iS engine, MT Propeller and Beringer Wheelset.
The challenge: Andrew will drive his vehicle to OR Tambo International Airport, complete all check-in and boarding procedures, take a commercial flight to Cape Town and upon arrival, he will drive to Spier Wine Farms.
James and Mike, on the other hand, load their Tagati’s into the Sling TSi, depart from Sling HQ and touch down at Stellenbosch Airport from where they will ride across the Spier Estate to Spier Gardens.
Who claimed victory in this adrenaline-packed duel? Check out the video to witness the triumph of innovation!

The TSi is a gem of a plane. To design and build such an plane in SA with all our challenges is testament to the Sling team.

Great stuff! What a brilliant little airplane. I flew my Grumman AA1A Joburg to Capetown many years ago and it took me 6 hours IIRC with 2 fuel stops - Bloemfontein and Beaufort West. But the aircraft had less horsepower (108hp) and a cruise speed less than this Sling TSI, of about 110 kts and fuel duration of maximum 4 hours. How things have progressed - congratulations Sling team!

Interesting video! It would be fun to see a cost breakdown of the trips, excluding cost of the aircraft.
@SlingAircraft

Hi Alan, If Mike and James were to fly down to Cape Town commercially and get themselves an Uber on the other side, this would cost roughly R7,000.00. For the both of them however, flying down in the TSi, it cost R6,300.00 over 4.5 hours.

Can't wait to see what's the performance of TSI powered by 916
@jamespitman2086
@jamespitman2086 5 месяцев назад
Essentially it cruises at 155 KTAS in 'Eco-mode' (30 l, 8 gallons per hour) at 7 500 feet. At 17 500 feet it's 175 KTAS. And roughly linear in between. She accelerates, takes off and climbs like a demon!

No. We cheated a bit, to give the idea, with a few seconds of air to air footage we took during the Heritage Day Weekend fly and ride. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-abnvnSl5hC0.html . That's the only cheat footage in the movie. In the rush we f....up the in-Sling sound!
