On my trip to LA this past month, I had the opportunity to check out the Sling 2 LSA (Light sport Aircraft) in torrance. For those of you who are not familiar with this airplane, it’s the LSA version 2 seater airplane from the guys at Airplanefactory. I reviewed the four seater a while ago, video link here • A Day In The Sling 4 -...
Today we look at the Sling 2 LSA. The first thing that stands out to me is the design, both exterior and interior. Just like the sling 4, you have a very spacious cabin in this airplane and the sling 2 also comes with an electronically controlled prop which makes life easier on the pilot. Enough room in the cabin to fit 2 adults nicely. The cabin width is 44 inches and the Sling has a useful load of 500 pounds.
A nice feature in the Sling 2 is the sliding canopy for those hot summer days and also sliding seats. I’m about 5 feet 10 inches tall and I’m able to sit in this airplane comfortably. Now for someone a bit taller or someone over 6 feet tall, you can easily use the seat lever and push the seat backwards for more leg room.
Several options you have in the sling 2 includes a glass panel. You can opt for MGL, Dynon, or Garmin. The airplane reviewed in this video already comes equipped with the Garmin G3X touch. A superb avionics system that can be used for both VFR and IFR Flying.
Below are some of the basic specs on the sling 2:
Cruise speed = 120 knots
useful load = 500 pounds
climb rate = 900 feet per minute
engine = rotax 912 100HP or rotax 914 115HP
