Raceair Designs LLC is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Gilbert, South Carolina, founded by designer Ed Fisher. The company was formerly located in Mayville, New York and Warren, Ohio. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of plans and kits for amateur construction and complete ready-to-fly aircraft under the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.Purdy, Don: AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook, Fifth Edition, page 231.
