Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2017 Sling Aircraft Sling 2.

Sling Aircraft has helped to attract pilots to the experimental and LSA categories with its responsive, smooth-handling aircraft.

The company often touts its Sling 2 as having the flight characteristics of a jet fighter. Its control stick and sliding canopy certainly impart a more intimate feel than the more common yoke and windows.

The Sling has also demonstrated impressive capability and performance in a series of long-distance records including a circumnavigation in 2009.

For pilots, the sleek, low-wing Sling 2 offers an economical and efficient traveling aircraft without giving up tactile engagement in the air and ramp appeal on the ground. The example for sale today is well-equipped for comfort, performance, and advanced navigation.

This 2017 Sling 2 has 1,180 hours on the airframe and on its Rotax 912iS engine and Airmaster constant-speed propeller. The aircraft is equipped with a 40-amp backup alternator, Tanis engine heater, and airframe parachute.

The IFR panel includes a Garmin GTN 650, dual 10-inch G3X displays, GMA 245 audio panel, dual GTR remote com radios, GMC 307 autopilot, GTX 45R transponder with ADS-B In and Out, and engine monitor.

Additional equipment includes an Earth-X lithium battery, Tosten grips, golf bag baggage extension, dual heaters and defrosters, and LED lighting.

Pilots seeking a modern, economical, two-seat experimental aircraft that is suitable for cross-country travel should consider this 2017 Sling 2, which is available for $190,000 on AircraftForSale.
