CLEAN LINES

Beautiful Design

Though-out in every detail. With an emphasis on clean lines. Its elegant and dynamic design will simply captivate you. Thanks to an uninterrupted view from the cabin. The Sting S4 stands out with its sleek lines and large bubble canopy. Sitting in the cockpit for the first time you get a sense of what true sport flying feels like. Like all TL models, the Sting S4 is an all-composite technology lending to a strong and light airframe that exceeds structural standards. The use of modern CAD/CAM technologies are used throughout for an airframe that contains 85% carbon for maximum strength and weight savings. The wing skin and fuselage is a sandwich of carbon and foam core, glued together with epoxy glue. The coating is then evacuated and cured in an oven. Highly stressed parts are made in an autoclave. High safety carbon frame with ROPS ensures crew safety, even in the case of the aircraft being overturned. Varnishing is done using white dual-component paint.

WELL WITHIN REACH

Ergonomic Cockpit

As you slide into the comfortable ergonomic seats you will feel connected to all the Sting has to offer. You will find that all of your controls are well within reach and that the control stick is sensitive yet well dampened for long flights. There is increased legroom and extra baggage space behind the seats that accommodate up to 55lbs so that you will have enough equipment for whatever your mission is.
