To my understanding, the Super Skybolt was a moniker given a full-scale Skybolt powered by the Lycoming IO-540 six-cylinder engine. The "normal" Skybolts are typically powered by a four cylinder IO-360.

A real Skybolt can be built as either an open-cockpit or with a bubble canopy. Neither option makes it "super".

There are also some differences in the structural and aesthetic design between those aircraft built to the older (pre-1970-something) plans, and the newer plans. Most noticeable are the differences in the elevator and hor. stab.
