While the finished
product is remarkable, getting there is quick and easy.
Around 99% of a Talon
kit is pre-machined and pre-formed, and the few places where
match-drilling or fitting is needed at final assembly are simple with
our easy-to-follow instructions.
The
only rivets that the builder installs are of the pull-type, for easiest
installation. All fabrication and riveting of the main floor pan and
boom assembly is done at the factory, where Sport Flight Aviation makes
sure it’s done right with our special tooling.
Guiding you through the
enjoyment of building a Talon is our excellent assembly documentation.
Take a look at a sample of our assembly drawings and you’ll see that we
stand above the rest.

Most components
simply bolt together using precise factory-machined holes and supplied
AN hardware - no complicated alignment procedures, special tools, and
chances for error.
Our pre-sewn sail fabric slips onto the wings and control surfaces like a glove, for a professional look right out of the hangar. There is no special shrinking process, and lots of colors and patterns are available.
In the Talon assembly manual every drawing is accompanied by a BOM (Bill of Materials) and text instructions with special tips and hints to make the process easy. The manual also covers a wealth of information on topics such as weight and balance, work practices, AN hardware, painting, first flight, and maintenance of your Talon.
The features that make a Talon easy to build also make it easy to maintain for years to come. The Talon is truly made to last, and after completing the assembly you’ll know the airplane inside and out.
