Re: Sling 4 Around the World
The discipline of "do not touch" was so drummed into me as a kid that today (I am now 58) I still find myself automatically clutching my hands behind my back whenever I walk up to an exhibit of any sorts. Fortunately my kids, who are all now also adults, have the same discipline.

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
This is what I found today:
"Notable transatlantic flights of the 21st century" on Wikipedia!!!! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight. Congrats guys, you deserve a mention on the world's biggest encyclopedia. Was great seeing you at Waterkloof. It was great chatting to Jean about the flights and what impressed me the most was the Sling 4 with it's "Battle Scars". It was great to see we are dealing with a company that has nothing to hide. It was amazing standing around and listening to the comments of the non believers. Comments like, impossible, seriously??? Amazing etc! Well Done!!!!!

Ahem - I am afraid its my fault.
I was so blown away by Jean's writing that i persuaded him to write the final chapter for SAF, AND ITS EVEN BETTER THAN I HOPED!
(Plus there is new material from the Pacific leg that they were too scared to talk about before.)
I have cut it down to a 4100 word saga that is incredibly gripping and with some so far unseen photies - so you will just have to wait a week or two.

Re: Sling 4 Around the World
From the EAA story:
I didn't know they were going to change the design?The eventual production model will weigh approximately 1,500 pounds and feature a longer fuselage, larger wings, 115-hp turbo-charged Rotax 914 UL engine, and a Warp Drive constant-speed propeller to reach altitudes of 15,000 feet.
