The company ceased manufacturing the Blue Heron line of powered parachutes in 2010. By early 2013 the company website stated: "After over 17 years of serving the aviation community, Heldeberg Designs LLC is wrapping up {{sic|i|t's}} operations and will no longer be manufacturing Blue Heron Powered Parachutes nor parts. We would like to thank all of our patrons and feel fortunate to have made so many friends around the world."{{cite web|url=http://blueheronppc.com/ |title=Blue Heron |access-date=4 June 2015 |author=Heldeberg Designs LLC |date=4 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130304205507/http://blueheronppc.com/ |archive-date=March 4, 2013 }}
