Silent 2 TARGA quick-build kits
are amongst the most complete available. Alisport is pleased
to offer two versions:
- Silent 2 TARGA: light sailplane
(meets FAI Class DU weight requirements)
- Silent 2 TARGA: fuel-injected self-launch
version
(with mono-blade propeller)
Everything required to build your Silent
2 TARGA is included in the kit except hand-tools and paint.
An upgrade kit is avalailable to convert the pure glider to
the self-launch version.
The self-launch Silent kit adds another dimension
to the pure sailplane. In addition to the standard airframe,
it also includes Alisport's 28hp air-cooled engine, tuned
exhaust system, vibration counterbalancer, battery, computer
controlled mapped fuel-injection and electronic ignition system,
fuel tank with high-pressure pump & filter, counter-balanced
mono-blade propeller, belt-reduction system, pre-welded and
powder-coated support frame, electromechanical mechanism,
mechanism doors, throttle control, instrument panel controls,
tachometer & hour-meter, and all necessary hardware.
In all cases, critical and difficult-to-make
components are prefabricated using Alisport factory tooling/jigs
and supplied in ready-to-use or near ready-to-use condition.
This leaves the less-critical construction steps, assembly,
and finishing to the builder. The photos below show most of
the prefabricated parts. For example, the fuselage halves
are joined, tubular steel structures are pre-welded and powder
coated, the spars are complete with precision jigged spar-pin
bushings, and the sandwich wing skins are bonded to the spar
and rib. This approach has the advantage of assuring those
builders without previous construction experience that
their Silent 2 TARGA will have the structural integrity and
performance capability as intended by the factory.
A very detailed and illustrated Construction
and Workshop Manual is supplied with the kit. We estimate
that a builder, with minimum skill, can build a Silent
2 TARGA in about 350 hours; another 150 hours are required
to build the fuel-injected
self-launch version.

| SILENT
2 TARGA QUICK-BUILD KITS |
| |
The Silent 2 TARGA quick-build
components are produced using factory tooling & jigs
and leave the less-critical construction steps, assembly,
and finishing to the builder. |
| The KITS include all other
components for assembly of your Silent. To ensure both
performance and safety, all materials meet the highest
quality standards. |
|
| |
A separate KIT, which includes
all the self-launch components and hardware, is available
to upgrade your pure glider to the self-launch version. |
