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.
