Sling 2 around the Western Cape, South Africa

My first solo flight in a Sling 2 out of Morningstar in Cape Town South Africa. It only took just under a year since getting my SAPPL for this to happen. Initial licencing "issues" - not CAA induced - and then on this trip multiple cancelations due to weather and a no show.

I had brought an Insta360 X4, attached it to the wing, powered it on, and then saw it go into power saving mode by the time I started taxiing meaning only the internal camera for video on this flight. Audio is also poor as it was my first time recording in a Sling and things got massively clipped and distorted.

The Sling 2 is a great aircraft for what it is. Cape Town at this time of year has some wild temperature swings. With the low wing, uncovered canopy, and the open vents that let a LOT of air through, it definitely need some getting used to. Today's flight was the first warm day of this trip. After about an hour I was definitely feeling the heat through the glass roof.

Routing today was a nice easy circular route with landmarks I was familiar with:
00:00 Morningstar
00:25 Take off
00:45 Winelands
01:14 Diemerskraal
01:52 Malmesbury
02:25 Moorreesburg and Sand circles?
02:42 Somersveld
03:32 Coastline
03:58 Atlantis Dunes
04:05 Koeberg Hills
04:15 Morningstar landing

I left lots of space on the landing, giving ~40 seconds from the plane ahead to my touch down, kept some extra speed and used the full length. Safe and stable, but not what the person behind was expecting as you can make the intersection if you land short enough.

If you ever in Cape Town and looking to fly, Morningstar Flight Academy, https://msfa.co.za/, is really well located, full of friendly people, and currently has 5 of these Sling 2's. For the number of hours on the airframes, they are in pretty great condition, akin to 500 hour birds at home.
