Launch Of The Sling 4 Two Week Turbo Build Program

Factory-Assist Quickbuild Kit Has Airplane Ready For Paint In 14 Days

The Airplane Factory (TAF) and Synergy Air of Eugene, Oregon have launched the Sling 4 Two Week Turbo Build Program. This program involves a builder spending several weeks at Synergy Air's Oregon location and building a Sling 4 Turbo from quickbuild kit with the training and assistance of Synergy Air's competent team. After their stay, the airplane will be ready for paint and the builder will return home and come back to Synergy at a later date to receive transition training and collect their painted and ready-to-fly airplane.

"The Airplane Factory has identified that many pilots want to enjoy the capabilities of a 4-seat airplane, but don't want the high procurement and operating costs of a big-engined 4-placed plane," said TAF USA Sales and Marketing Manager, Jordan Denitz. "The Sling 4 Turbo is true 4-seat, cross country machine with a 1,000lb useful load - great for 4 adults, or 2 adults with a lot of luggage. And, the combination of a quiet turbo-charged Rotax engine with a constant speed prop allows for respectable speeds in the 145 kt TAS range at 9,500' with a fuel burn under 6 GPH. This is the kind of efficiency pilots are beginning for."

Said TAF USA President, Matt Liknaitzky, "Synergy Air is the leader in kit airplane builder training, and we are excited to make this exciting airplane, the Sling 4 Turbo, more accessible to builders thanks to this program. Now builders who are unsure of their ability to make the time commitment required to build a kit airplane, or unsure of their technical abilities, can have a known time commitment and a known outcome."

Said Mike Blyth, Founder of TAF and Designer of the Sling 4 Turbo: "We've created a unique airplane in the Sling 4 Turbo that's in a category of its own. I envisioned an airplane that the whole family could enjoy and most importantly, afford. The Sling 4 features modern avionics, superior handling capabilities, and safety features that include a ballistic recovery parachute system. 

I couldn't be more excited to partner with Synergy Air on this two week build program. Their years of experience will make it possible for someone with no previous knowledge or expertise to build their very own airplane that exceeds most factory build standards. The satisfaction that one will walk away with from this experience will be unmatched."

Said Wally Anderson of Synergy Air: "The Sling 4 Turbo exceeded my expectations in performance and flight handling in a category no other kit companies are covering. The design has a refined look inside and out. New builders will find it very easy and quick to build."
