E.A.A. Sun-N-Fun convention

While at the E.A.A. Sun-N-Fun convention Dan Johnson talks to the folks from the Aircraft Factory about their Sling light sport aircraft. The Sling is an all metal side by side seating low wing light sport aircraft designed and built in South Africa. It is available in both a tricycle gear or taildragger version, built ready to fly or in kit form.
