With handling characteristics that are perfectly coordinated and highly responsive, the Sling 2 flies more like a fighter jet than an LSA. It’s not overly sensitive or “squirrely” like many LSAs. When you fly it, you’ll love it because it flies like a real airplane.

The Sling 2 can be certified as a Light Sport Aircraft with a maximum gross weight of 1,320 lbs. However, the Sling 2 has been designed to a max gross weight of 1,540 so that as an E-AB, you can enjoy an extra 220 lbs. When the FAA increases the LSA gross weight in the future, the Sling 2 LSA will be approved to fly at 1540 lbs.
Are you looking for the airplane that represents the future of flight training? The Sling 2 NGT is that plane.

With its great lines painted in your flight school’s colors, it will attract more students by showcasing the professionalism of your training program. Robust landing gear and a strong airframe mean it will hold up under the rigors of an intensive training operation.
Burning only 3.8 gph (912iS), its $50/hr operating cost will make you more money versus older legacy aircraft.
