With the working prototype now in the testing phase, promotional shots and videos are being collected. Advertising will begin soon and we hope to have pre-sales happening within the next couple of months.

Fieldays Hamilton was a great experience. We met many people who gave valuable feedback and provided future contacts. This experience showed that the market for this product was bigger than first anticipated. ​
We are now working on the final changes required before the Indiegogo release scheduled for late 2024. Refinements will include a redesign of the rolling and pitching systems, lengthening of the main chassis, strengthening of load bearing components and aesthetic accessories.

April
2024
This month we travelled to our CNC factory to see the progress on the four models we have in early production. We met with many of our suppliers and finalized materials and designs that would work for the different models.
This trip was well worthwhile as it meant we could pick up a Skilplane for the upcoming event in Hamilton, New Zealand where Skilplane has been selected to be showcased in the Innovation Awards.​
January
2024
This month the patent was submitted through the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand. The drawings have been sent to our CNC factory and we look forward to seeing the progress in April.
Work has been continuing on each of the four models and these will be updated when testing begins in April.
