What an incredible day as we got up at 4am to catch the early flight to Johannesburg, where Llewellyn's Dad picked my instructor Brad and I up from the airport to go to Tedderfield, home of The Airplane Factory where our Sling LSA has been taking shape.
Whilst James and the team worked fervently to iron out a few snags Brad went with Marc to do his instructor's conversion training so that he and I could fly "Hot Stuff" back to Durban the same day. James also took me up for 2 mind-blowing barrel rolls and bombarded me with software info for the avionics. Only towards 2pm did Brad and I venture out onto the tarmac and get airborne for our flight to Durban. What an awesome machine.
