The two-seat Sky-Walker Sky-Walker 1+1 was popular as an ultralight training aircraft. The airframe exists out of an aluminium-tube construction. The plane is constructed out of alu-tube covered with sailcloth. As powersource the Sky-Walker 1+1 had a four cylinder, horizontal opposed air-cooled Limbach L 1700 EA engine. The L 1700 EA was a perfect engine for the ultralight Skywalker with a continous 56 hp (maximum 60 hp) and a weight of only 73 kg.
The dated Limbach engine of the PH-1U9 was replaced by a Rotax 462 UL CB.

USA Founded 1984 to develop former Dominion Aircraft Skytrader 800 but with some changes. Planned Skytrader ST1700 Conestoga and military ST1700 MD Evader, but company ceased trading 1989.
The Falcon is a paramotor and paraglider wing. The Falcon is an easy launching wing and cruises hands off. With trimmers set fast, the wing comfortably moves out. With trimmers in, the wing is a cruiser that can handle rougher air hands off.
It kites easily in zero to low wind conditions due to light, thin and strong Dyneema lines. In addition to the ease of kiting, the lines and strong fabric allow a wider weight range of pilots on each of the four different wing sizes.
Other features include: Larger high-strength D-clamps for added safety Easy keeper handle magnets that allow quick and easy handle stowing Larger carabineer loops to allow for quick attachment Bright split A-riser colors for easy line identification 9017/42 g/sq.m rip stop nylon to give the wing added strength for heavier wing loading E38A uv coating to ensure longer wing life and reduce fading
The Falcon paramotor / paraglider wing was available in four colors – blue, red, yellow, and orange.

Marketed kits for developed versions of the original Denny Kitfox (first flown 1984), as the Kitfox Classic IV side-byside two-seat high-wing cabin lightplane, Kitfox Series 5, long-wing Kitfox Speedster, and Kitfox Vixen with nosewheel undercarriage.
In 1996 SkyStar Aircraft acquired the right to produce and sell Aero Designs Inc Pulsar line, which they produce at SkyStar’s Nampa, Idaho facility.
Also offers kits for Pulsar II composites- built low-wing monoplane (as two-seat development of original Star-Lite), and Pulsar XP with more engine power.
The Merlin is a double-surfaced flexible wing designed for cross-country and competition flying. Strong construction and pitch-positive airfoil plus higher tha normal wing loading help cope with turbulence. It has been test flown through completely vertical dives and sideslips and past vertical wing-overs, pulling up to 4.5G recorded.
A rounded nose plate is fitted and rigging can be adjusted easily for either prone or seated flight. The centre of gravity is adjustable and breakdown allows shipping at about half the leading edge length.
The airframe is aircraft quality 6063-T832 1.75in x .049 leading edges, and 1.5in x .058 crossbar. Stainless steel bushings with inside sleeving are fitted, and deflexers. No dowelling are fitted.
Maring stainless steel 3/32in 7×7 rigging is used throughout with protective coating on the bottom wires. Quick links and pins are used so the rigging and control frame can be quickly removed.
All hardware is stainless steel or aircraft quality aluminium. Nuts, washers, bolts and turnbuckls are aircraft grade.
The sail is 3.8oz stabilised dacron with doble zig-zag stitching. Four full length battens are on each side of the sail. A removable rib is fitted over the keel for a second surface.
A seat, sophisticated harness, or prone harness was available.
