By 2016 the company offered a full line of "classic" gliders as well as lightweight designs, mountain descent miniwings and a tandem design, the Join't for flight training.{{cite web|url = https://www.skywalk.info/products/|title = Products|accessdate = 13 November 2016|author = Skywalk|year = 2016}}
