The Sport 2S is the latest evolution in Quicksilver's open
cockpit design.
The Sport 2S development program began with the goal of producing the best
side-by-side trainer ever. Featuring strutted wings, wider cockpit, rugged
aluminum steerable nosewheel, and larger wheels, the Sport 2S combines the many
suggestions and comments of ultralight enthusiasts and professionals with
Quicksilver's extensive designing, engineering, and R & D testing to
fullfill that goal.
Pilots used to the docile and predictable flying qualities of the Quicksilver MX
line of ultralight planes will be pleased with the Sport 2S. It provides the
solid feel of a strut braced plane with the desirable flying characteristics
that have made Quicksilvers so popular.
The Sport 2S' thoroughly engineered design and complete factory and dealer
support help to make your flying as enjoyable as possible. Quicksilvers are the
easiest kits on the market to assemble. An improved wing cover design makes the
Sport 2S even faster to build. You are ready to fly with only a few weekends and
some basic tools. Aircraft grade hardware and custom fittings allow for
exceptional ease of assembly, maintenance, and breakdown for storage. In about
thirty minutes you can go from trailer to flight. The Sport 2S boasts a wealth
of new features.
