SPECIFICATIONS
Quicksilver Aircraft was quick to turn around an assembly manual for me which will be invaluable as I learn what I have (or don't). Thankfully the airplane was N-numbered, so I just submitted the registration paperwork to Oklahoma City for processing. Not sure how much work I'll get done on it over the winter since it's in an unheated hangar. Trouble Shooting the Quicksilver MX Like anything else in life, the older something gets the more prone it is to break down, humans are no exception to this rule, and unfortunately neither are aircraft. One of the oldest and most proven designs on the ultralight market is that of the VENERABLE QUICKSILVER MX. The MX was probably the most highly.
