Sling 4 Around the World

[Jean Crous]

The question i think may come from many pilots is : Why change a recipe that is proven to work
Could the guys at TAF perhaps cast a wee bit of light on this, they obviously have a good reason for this ?

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.

Yip, I wrote that

I think the changes mentioned was just from the 2 seater to the 4 seater.There will be very little changes from the prototype 4 seater to the production plane.The only miner change that was spoken about will be to the canopy for a little more headroom.

There was talk about lowering the seats for this, but then Jean pointed out they were looking for head-room not bum-room

When will the new SAF be on the shelves?

November goes to print tomorrow.
Out from printer next week Tuesday
Local subscribers SHOULD have it by end of that week = 21 Oct.

RE Sling seats - The front ones are on the main spar so I dont think they can be lowered

Guyus, it was meant to be a funny (rather weak admittedly) but either you or I are not very sharp this morning. Hope the day improves for both of us

Morning Everybody


I honestly think it is way to early to let this wonderfull achievement from Taf get out of our memories .Had a chat to James and Jean and we will all be going to Parys on Sunday morning for a relaxed chat and a breakfast.We invite everybody to join us and you dont have to fly a Sling

Jump in your plane and join us.

Please let me know if your coming that i can arrange with the restaurant at Parys.

Would like to go, will see how it pans out, need a flight in the sling 4, to feel what it flies like.

[Dunesurfer]

Ek ly aan ontrekkings simptome,wil die sling manne nie maar weer vlieg nie,dalk die keer,die ande rkant om.Of wat van oor die pole.Sal maa skeef skeef gaan,maar dis ok,meer tyd vir ons om laatnag en vroeg oggend en sommer heeldag voor die laptop te sit.Goeie verskoning vir niks doen.Want ons support mos moreel van aard.
Of WYNAND,wat van 80 days AROUND AFRIKA in daai balon van jou.
