They can sell demo aircraft into Australia in limited numbers as experimental and the owners will not be able to owner maintain.
That being said, if the owner has built an aircraft that is “essentially similar” to the Sling in construction, they could legally maintain it as long as it is not owned by a syndicate. The combo carbon and metal construction means an essentially similar aircraft may not exist in practical terms.
