What good does an SLSA certificate do for a company in the light sport market? Well, in the case of California manufacturer Quicksilver Aircraft, the answer is “a lot” and quickly too.
Quicksilver yesterday announced the sale of 77 of its recently certificated S2SE model, an open air ultralight style airplane constructed with aluminum tubing structure and sailcloth covered wings. Quicksilver, the most prolific ultralight manufacturer in history, has produced kits (and some completed airframes) for 15,000 aircraft since the 1970s.
