The Sling TSi is the latest four-seat Sling 4 aircraft model, building on the Sling’s legacy of excellent handling characteristics. It was critically acclaimed for its all-around capabilities, superb handling, and functionality. Pilots praise the TSi’s modern glass cockpit avionics: a 10 Garmin G3X touchscreen with G5 backup and autopilot. This advanced avionics package puts an abundance of information at your fingertips, giving a refined and integrated flight experience.

The TSi’s cockpit feels like a real airplane – comfortable and intuitive – yet its performance is almost as fast as a fighter jet. With a turbocharged 160 hp Rotax 916 iS engine, the Sling TSi cruises near 178 mph and reaches 18,000+ ft effortlessly. In fact, it can cover about 1,000 nautical miles on a full tank, making it ideal for long cross-country trips. Safety features include a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute and robust landing gear. The Sling TSi’s offering unrivalled performance, safety, comfort, and reliability – a genuine high-performance airplane for the real aviator.

  • Performance: Superb handling, 1,200 fpm climb rate, and a ballistic chute.

The new Sling HW adds classic stability and utility to Sling’s family. It has four four-seat, which makes it an aircraft able to provide comfort to the passengers. Like the TSi, it features the same 160 hp Rotax 916 iS engine.

Pilots immediately notice its forgiving flight characteristics, the inherent stability of a high-wing design, combined with Sling’s signature responsive controls. The High Wing carries four people comfortably, with best-in-class interior quality and generous rear baggage space. In fact, its removable rear seats dramatically increase cargo volume, making the Sling HW an aircraft capable of going on any trip.

At 145 KTAS (167 mph) cruise, it can still manage a range of approximately 900 nm, making it perfect for families or backcountry adventures. It also comes in tricycle or taildragger gear and includes the Sling safety parachute. 

  • Light sport aircraft: High-wing design for easy handling, plus an extra-large cabin, wide doors, adjustable seats and pedals, and lavish leather interiors.

  • Safety: Standard whole-plane parachute, LED lighting, and proven Sling reliability.

Making Ownership Easy with Aeroshare

Pilot form of Aeroshare-Ventures to get coownership

Aeroshare Ventures offers an innovative co-ownership program that helps pilots acquire new, low-time, versatile aircraft (like the Sling TSi and HW) at a fraction of the cost of sole ownership.

  • Affordability: Buy a share (1/4, 1/3, or 1/2) instead of the whole aircraft outright. This reduces the upfront and ongoing costs while giving you real equity in the aircraft.
  • Low Utilization, High Value: Most private pilots fly 50-100 hours per year. Co-ownership matches real usage with cost efficiency.
  • Maintenance & Management: Aeroshare provides professional maintenance support and scheduling to reduce owner workload.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Co-ownership includes fair scheduling so you can fly when you want. Most owners get all the access they need.

For Aeroshare Sling TSi and High Wing are their primary fleet because these aircraft reflect their mission: affordable, modern, fun flying. Aeroshare helps make this experience accessible to more pilots by sharing costs and responsibilities. You can also begin the journey by filling out the details in the Pilot program form to express interest and get matched with the right opportunity.

Sling Models & Kits: Built by Expert Aircraft Builders

Sling uses a lineup of models to fit many pilots’ needs. Their kits and ready-to-fly planes are assembled by skilled engineers and builders. In fact, many kit owners report how Sling’s parts “fit together perfectly” with pre-drilled holes, requiring no jigs – a result of the factory’s careful manufacturing process.

Sling is proud to ensure that each aircraft produced meets rigorous standards. Below is a summary of Sling’s main models:

  • Sling LSA (2 seats): A factory-built or kit option meeting FAA LSA rules. Designed for training, fun, and peace of mind.
  • Sling 2 (2 seats): The original Sling 2 kit plane (also available as a taildragger). Heroic adventure design. Pilots often fit floats or long-range tanks.
  • Sling TSi (4 seats): The high-speed four-seater described above. Kit or experimental RTF version available.
  • Sling HW (4 seats): The new high-wing model, in tricycle or taildragger gear. Great for pilots needing extra stability or cargo space.

Each model shares Sling’s core strengths: legendary handling, all-metal construction, and modern systems. Sling’s custom aircraft builders continue to evolve the models – the factory even offers options like ballistic parachutes and LED lights on all models. Whether you want a new Sling or a kit to build yourself, Sling Aircraft provides detailed manuals and support.

Sling Aircraft for sale in Co-Ownership Options

New Sling kits and ready-to-fly planes can be ordered directly from Sling’s factory or authorized dealers. Prices are competitive for what you get: advanced avionics, 4 seats, and excellent range at a fraction of certified-plane costs.

This is where Aeroshare’s co-ownership shines. Through Aeroshare Ventures, you can own a share of a Sling aircraft (often ¼, ⅓, or ½ shares) without bearing 100% of the cost. The co-ownership model makes private aviation accessible through a smart aircraft co-ownership model. In practice, Aeroshare handles aircraft purchase, maintenance, hangar, insurance, scheduling, and even resale. Owners simply enjoy flying. The result is predictable costs and white-glove service for each owner.

Shares often come with priority scheduling and a guaranteed flight hour allotment (no waiting lists). In short, Aeroshare’s approach means you can get into a Sling aircraft faster – for a fraction of the price of solo ownership – while still owning a real airplane.

Sell Your Sling: Upgrade and Co-Ownership Opportunities

Are you a current Sling owner thinking, “I want to sell my Sling”? Sling Aircraft’s sales team can help list your plane. Many Sling 2 or 4 owners use trade-in equity toward a newer model or a co-ownership share. Aeroshare can also connect buyers and sellers of Sling planes or help you apply your aircraft’s value toward a shared ownership plan.

The key is that Sling owners have an active community: you can often find Sling models (new and used) via clubs, brokerages, or co-ownership groups. If you sell on your own, be prepared with good logbooks and maintenance records, Sling emphasizes well-documented history. And remember, joining a co-ownership means you get to keep flying without the hassle of sole ownership.

Sling operating costs remain attractive whether new or used. The reliable Rotax engines (100–160 hp) have 2,000 hr TBOs and efficient fuel consumption. Instructors report that Sling’s maintenance bills and fuel bills stay very reasonable, even for high-hour machines. Additionally, Sling’s all-metal construction and durable gear ensure a long lifespan. In the end, selling or buying a Sling, new, used, or fractional, gives you a real airplane flying experience with modern features and sensible economics.

Aeroshare’s co-ownership wraps up the story: by sharing the options to split all those operating costs, and enjoy more hours in a premium airplane.
