Raceair Designs Skylite
|
|
The Skylite design was started in 1988 by Ed
Fisher, who wanted a rag & tube ultra light aircraft with
the classic parasol wing configuration. He wanted an inexpensive
to build, open cockpit tail-dragger that would appeal to the
average handyman.
The Skylite prototype was built, tested and
debuted to the public at Oshkosh 1991,
where it received the Grand Champion Award for Ultralights.
Since that time, over 90 Skylites have been built
and flown, and Raceair Designs continues to sell plans and
components, and supports builders.
The Skylite design prototyped Ed Fisher's wing rib
attach cup and rib angle construction for lightweight wing design,
and all subsequent ultralight type designs from Raceair have
employed this method of wing rib construction.
Ed Fisher owns Raceair Designs and is the
designer and sells plans for the Skylite, Micro Mong, and many
others. Currently Raceair offers plans and components for the
Skylite, and plans for the Mong Sport. |
