All the company's designs were of wood and fabric construction. The first was the Pop's Props Pinocchio, introduced in 1994. The Pinocchio is a single seat First World War fighter replica and three were flying by 1998. The Cloudster, a single seat parasol wing ultralight followed in 1995 and the Zing, a derivative of the Cloudster, in 1996.
Land became interested in selling the designs and closing the company early in the 21st century. In 2010 Jeff Erekson made an offer to buy the designs and the deal was completed in February 2011. Erekson formed Simplex Aeroplanes to sell the Cloudster and Zing aircraft.[4]
