ZU-MND Sling TSI (Unavailable)
The Fast Cross Country Monster
The fastest and only IFR plane in our fleet. She was was built within one major consideration - speed. The Sling TSI is by far the fastest Sling out there and is ideal for journeys that are time sensitive. Despite being speed focused, the comfort of the passengers is still a major consideration and with a modern interior she really is rather comfortable. She is also equipped with a full set of IFR certified navigation and communication equipment making her ideal for qualified pilots needing to fly into coastal areas where cloud break procedures are often required.

ZU-MND Weights and Balances. ZU-MND has extended range fuel tanks which have a different arm to the standard fuel tanks. View the relevant section in the POH. The weights and balances was also performed with the oxygen tank installed in the rear. Remove from calculation if you do not intend to fly with it. Please use this in the context of the Weights and Balances section in the POH. The aircraft also has the Weights and Balances profile programmed into the EFIS for easy double checking and calculation. Remember to do the calculation prior to all flights.
