One of the highlights of the 2016 Rally is the challenge to build an aircraft from a kit in just seven days. The team, made up of  LAA volunteers and members of The Airplane Factory from Capetown, South Africa who manufacture the Sling aircraft kit, began work on Saturday morning in a marquee specially erected on Sywell Aerodrome and will continue to work till next weekend, when the completed aircraft is expected to make its maiden flight.
