Sky Raider Frontier
The Frontier side by side is a bush plane kit aircraft. The Frontier Kit is divided into three sub-kits. Each sub kit comes with everything needed to finish the job. Complete, step-by-step instructions with illustrations and photos are included with each kit. The complete airframe should be ready to cover in only a few days.
The fuselage kit includes a powder coated fuselage that is ready to attach parts to. The builder will install the rudder pedals, master cylinders and pulleys. When the fuel system and control cables are installed the fuselage will be ready be covered.
The standard fuselage kit sold for US$16,200 in 2009.
The wing kit includes everything needed to finish the wings, flaps, ailerons, fuel tanks, and fabric system. Every nut and washer, screw and component part is in the kit. Attaching pulleys, running cables and urethaning ribs is all that is necessary prior to covering.
The standard wing kit sold for US$8,800 in 2009.
The finishing kit includes everything that doesn’t come in the first two kits, minus paint, the instruments, and the FWF. It includes: the engine cowl, engine mount, windows, seats with standard upholstery, shoulder harnesses and seat belts, boot cowl assembly and firewall, instrument panel, landing gear system, tailwheel and tail spring, 8:00 x 6 tires and tubes, and wing struts.

Sky Paragliders Anakis
Anakis, EN B and LTF 1 certified wing, is mostly to be used by novice pilots after their initial training course who seek safety and performance in a wing that is able resolve any troubles in the air.
In the EN B description range, this glider could be described as a low EN B level wing.
The main distinctive features are:
High safety level
Extremely easy take-off even in difficult conditions
Minimal sink rate and high gliding ratio
High acceleration using the speed system.
Predictable manoeuvres even in non standard flying regimes
Very low weight (4,6 kg in M size)
Material usage (distinctive material – skytex evolution – with a higher abrasion protection used on the leading edge to minimize the increasing values of porosity and a water repellent coating on the rest of the wing that minimizes ageing and degradation of the glider)
Suited for 90 to 100+ kg range.
Anakis is also suitable for MPG and PG flying. This glider can be delivered with risers with or without trimmers.
