Eipper Quicksilver
Quicksilver is a line of single and two-place high wing, single engine, ultralight aircraft that evolved from weight shift hang gliders including Bob Lovejoy's High Tailer.
The earliest powered version, the Quicksilver C, was created as a self-launching hang glider, designed to allow pilots who lived in the flatlands to be able to self-launch without a hill. The design later evolved into a ultralight aircraft for powered cross country flying.
The aircraft line has been in production since the late 1970s and remains in production in 2012 by Quicksilver Aircraft of Temecula, California.

Throws back the invisible but lightning mass

The palpable air....”
