ZU-MND Sling TSI

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.
