The Pre-Test Flight for Sling 4TSi ZK-DBV/2

After getting sign off from CAA for his Sling 4 TSi last week, Arjen Visser had to wait a few days for suitable weather.  Today 2 June was the day!  Alex Kaandorp flew his demonstrator Sling 4 TSi ZK-SLN up from Feilding in 1 hour 40 minutes, leaving at 7 15 am to cast a final second set of eyes over ZK-DBV2 before they both went for a flight in ZK-SLN to fly through Arjen's test flight regime.

The weather was near perfect with nice early lighting for lots of photos!

Then electrically raise the hangar door for introductions!

Two equally shiny Slings.

After a thorough duplicate pre-flight inspection pull ZK-SLN out for the pre-test flight flight.

Down the ramp onto the airfield for a flight of 20 minutes or so over the airfield at around 3,000 feet.
