Morning Gents
About the photo and comments.I was there for the first flight and any low passes was made well after Jean took it up and flew around and tested everything for quite some time.The picture and comment could have created the idea that it all happened on first take off wich was not the case.So to be fair to all,keep it nice.This is an awsome project and something we can all just be proud off.See you all at the factory today.

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
Come on guys, this thread is about the Sling 4 around the world, not about a comment made without too much thought - move on.
Jean, I will never forget the day you sent me solo, this around the world flight will no doubt be a flight that you will never forget - God speed
