The company's sole product was plans, and later kits, for the EasyUp Parapropter, a paramotor design using a wide variety of small gasoline engines. The plans consisted of full-sized 24 in (61 cm) by 36 in (91 cm) inch professional blueprints.[1][3]
The business was eventually wound up, with Tate writing, "I have moved on to much bigger and better things."[3]
