The two-seater Sling was designed by Mike Blyth bigger than some of the comparable sport aircraft and can be certified as an LSA.
The prototype first flew on 18 November 2009. It is produced by Sling Aircraft (Pty) Ltd of Johannesburg in South Africa as a kit or a fully built up aircraft. After a full testing programme the second prototype was flown around the world from East to West in 40 days in 2009, which proved the credentials of the design. The Sling is of all metal construction with composite cowling and fairings. The design has been extended to a 4 seater aircraft which is called the Sling 4 while the 2 seater has been renamed the Sling 2.

The “PJ-II “Dreamer” is two place ducted fan semi-fighter jet replica kit-build airplane. It is a semi-replica because it was never intendant to be design as exact copy of any current “Jet Fighter”.
The aircraft is made of composite constriction with all the parts made in the “molds”. Standard fiberglass and resin (Carbon fiber can be used, as customer request) is used throughout, being of aerospace quality sourced from Germany. Skins with ribs and bulkheads are utilized in a fairly traditional composite build up for sophisticated high performance experimental aircraft.
PJ-II “Dreamer” design around LS6 GM V-8 400 hp automotive (converted for aircraft use) piston engine. Because this is automotive engine, automotive premium or aviation LL100 fuel can be used the “Ducted Fan” propulsion system makes this aircraft look and fly like a jet airplane. It’s no P-factor and torque to deal with.
Certificate of Airworthiness of the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation, number 2082164591, was received on February 9, 2016.
Demonstration flights of PJ-II at the exhibition Sun-n-Fun 2016 in Lakeland, Fl. USA, April 2016, arouse much interest. During the air show and in the following few months, the interest was confirmed by the announced intentions of more than 50 pilots, who wished to purchase the kit-build aircraft. The two-seat aircraft first flew in March 2015 and had about 40 flying hours so far. The particular aircraft was to stay in the US for the EAA AirVenture show at Oshkosh at the end of July.
The company reached an understanding, that manufacturing and developing will allow producing only 10-12 kits in 2017, with the increase in their number in the future. $3000 deposits were securing delivery dates in 2018.

With a chassis designed to work in extreme conditions and on professional jobs, there are 2 sizes: 1450 and 1400. Both have 200 cc power with Carbon Tripal propellers (recommended 130cm).
The engine can fly 4-5 hours and then carry out two seater flights.
The chassis can be dismantled into 4 stainless steel parts, or on request at 2, 3, or 5 parts. They are TIG welded, using stainless steel pipes, 304 & 316 grade in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 mm in the central part of the chassis frame. The 16 mm tube offers a double impact resistance.
There were more than 15 models of chassis, to mount any engine or incorporate the Evolution & Fly 100 EVO range of light engines,
