e-ab

The Davis DA-2 was designed as an Experimental market aircraft with a first flight in 1966. this compact 2 seater was originally powered by a Continental A65 but the O-200A would be a better choice with the DA-2A. Being an O-200 option it can also work with other powerplants like the Corviar. By the mid 80’s 45 where built.

While being a rare E-AB there are a few YouTube Videos on it:

Fairly simple to make an RC model with this 3 view, the flat and ruled surfaces lend them selves to a balsa built model

Tissue and rubber band free flight option is available from the AMA:

The Sling High Wing is a recent E-AB kit plane available from Sling Aircraft. First Flight was at the end of 2020. The first time it actually cut through the noise is when I saw it in a recent Trent Palmer video where N669JP was flying along with Trent’s new Cub on an Idaho adventure. An N number look up let me know the aircraft make & type. Being very familiar with the general Kit Plane offerings this one was rather unique having a slick fuselage, a Tail Wheel configuration and fairly new construction. I knew it was way to big to be a Jabiru and not the right shape to be a Glasair 2+2.

MoJoGrip’s YouTube Channel has been a great ambassador for the Sling TSi where I learned a lot about there low wing aircraft.

The HW is offered in a tail wheel or nose wheel configuration. uses a Rotax 915 iS for power.
