Welcome Rod! I am taking delivery of a Sling HWTD sometime this summer, a garage build for me. Currently entertained watching the boat cruising at 18kts from Durban.

Video reviewing DUC 4 blade Tiger Prop.

Received email today from Sling Torrence COO. TAF USA and Sling S.A. will absorb current 10% tariff on current US orders. Any additional tariff beyond 10% "may need to be passed on to customers in the future."

DUC 4 Blade Inconel Hydraulic Fashblack 3-R ~$10,500 + JihoStroj governor P110-060/A ~$2700 + Spinner/Spacers/Hardware ~$1500. I have seen a couple Slings using this prop. Priced by DUC USA. MT Prop MTV-6-R/190 -60 $13,600 + Spinner assembly P-1785 $1900 + Mechanical governor P-850-77 $3450 + Shipp...

I ordered the whole airframe and undercarriage... figured I would wait on powerplant, prop, and avionics. The Quickbase app says the composite structu...

I think you are spot on with your pro-con list. IMO Beringer is a marginal improvement on performance and it looks cool which translates to increased value. I have installed Beringer product on a Cessna and the owner did report improved braking/stopping distance compared to Cleveland brakes (look si...

Very nice, congrats! Love the paint.

Thought I would start sharing some information so others seeking same build are in the know. I will update as I experience the process. (USA orders via TAF). The taildragger requires (not an option) an addition $11,450 because it is the Beringer system—wheels, brakes, axles, spacers. This will bring...

Thanks for info @lutorm ... I'll check out DUC at some 2025 airshows. From what I can see electric is likely $8000 more than hydraulic by the time you factor in Rotax SCU + Electric prop.
