This 2013 Quicksilver GT500 has been sold.
Registered as an Advanced Ultralight in Canada. It's registration letters are C-IKIY.
It was acquired as an abandoned project. It sat unattended and deteriorated as planes do when they're not being used and so a lot of the aircraft is comprised of brand new parts and materials. Parts and support are still available as the aircraft is currently still in production.
- all new aircraft grade hardware wherever it was needed
- new parts from Quicksilver where needed (there were some dented and damaged tubes)
- brand new fabric for the main wings, flaps, ailerons, horizontal stabilizer and elevator, (vertical stabilizer, rudder, and cockpit fabric all tested above the recommended strength)
The engine was torn down, inspected, and re-built by a certified Rotax tech. It has been broken in and the plane has been flown several times. It currently has around 15 hours on the Hobbs (hour meter) but you can expect that time to go up as I plan to continue to fly it until it sells because it's just so much fun.
It has a lot of power. The engine is a 4-stroke, 4 cylinder, 80hp Rotax 912 UL swinging a 70" 3-blade Warp Drive prop. It's turning 5400 rpm static and it climbs like a homesick angel. Initial observations are showing 80 mph at 4500 rpm. Take-off and landing distances are both well under 500 feet.
Empty weight is 650 lbs, gross weight is 1100lbs, fuel capacity is 16 US gallons.
This is practically a brand new plane. Factory list price for this model is currently $50,190 US with the same engine and $33,565 US without.
