Pastor Mike, I want to thank you for providing the only consolidated web presence for FRED over the years. The archives of this group may gather some redundant...
If you'll go to the Files archive, under FUSELAGE you'll find an entry for the FRED, a folding-wing VW-powered single-seater designed by Eric Clutton, now...
To All: The follow-up to the original post was a continuation of exploring potential problems with the FRED's structure as compared to that of the Chugger. On...
I have built a TEAM Minimax and found the plans easy to follow and the construction fairly easy. Can anyone compare the FRED with a Minimax? I plan on...
To All: A few years ago... about 75 of them... America's CAA (which morphed into the FAA) came up with 'Joe'. Joe was the Average American, according to the...
Hi Mike in Iowa! I'm a bit far from you - I hail from Britain, but currently live in the South of France where I work as a yacht Captain. Hi Mr. Hoover - yes...
... Dear Roger (and the Group), I understand and agree completely. But when the F.R.E.D. is examined as a SYSTEM it is unfortunate that we allow minor details...
Greetings all, I just joined the list and wanted to say hi. I'm located in the San Francisco Bay Area and have some modest building experience with the VMax,...
I ran across this article while doing a search on Eric Clutton. Does anyone have an update? (I've emailed doctordiesel@..., but get no reply.) Rick Pilot...

Matt, That's great news, thanks. And I'm glad to hear from someone in the group. Tell me, things seem pretty quiet around here -- is ANYONE building a Fred?...
Thanks, Phil. My friend Tom Anderson, who will be joining the group shortly, has a set of Fred plans he'll let me review so I can decide if I want to purchase....
Yeah, that's what's perplexing me about this design -- where are the builders? Perhaps Eric could answer a question or two via snail mail, but his email is...
I think the reason the FRED was so popular over in the UK and not here was for one reason mostly. Ecomomy. It is much more expensive to have a hanger and to...
Thanks for responding, Pastor Mike. Undoubtedly regulations in the UK offer builders special challenges; I've ordered Eric's book and expect it will highlight...

Dear Rick and Group. Thank you for your kind words. I have been remiss as moderator not chiming in more work responsibilities quadrupled about the time I...
RICK I am in Arkansas now and will be in the vicinity of MS, AL and TN. Is there something to see FRED-wise in TN over the weekend?? Tom Anderson  ... ...
Tom, Eric Clutton lives in Tullahoma Tn. Once he has the original FRED flying again it would be ideal if someone near by could pay him a visit with a digital...
You gotta get Eric's book. I'm only a few pages into it, but he talks about living in England during the Blitz and all the aircraft at a local airfield where...
I recently got some of my FRED questions answered by a builder in the UK and thought I'd share them with the group: Did you divert from the plans? I only...
In September while in Huntsville AL on business, I needed to stay over the weekend to be in Huntsville on Monday. I went to see Eric at Tullahoma. I was able...
