Is that a current advert? That site doesn't seem to change in years. There is a project for sale in Derbyshire, not pretty at the moment, but there is a good...

All, I just wanted you to know that I received a message from a friend of Eric's, Christine Plante, saying that he is in the hospital after a couple of bad...
Oops, sorry all, I misunderstood a message from a friend of a friend of Eric's, asking me to let Eric know that the friend is not well. Eric is, as far as I...
A bit of news from sunny Cornwall. Ian Pearson is almost up to the fuselage and wing covering stage. A lack of twin-plug heads is slowing him down but I'm...

Hi! I've spent the last hour looking over the FRED. I'm currently finishing up my plans built Sonex, which will leave my workshop barren. So I'm looking for a...
Really does fold in 15 mins with just one person and I've towed mine at 60+ mph with no problems. Very stable. Best to make up a rack for placing the...
I used to watch Eric towing the original FRED back in the sixties and can say that it towed very well indeed - his towcar at that time was a motorbike! Ian...
I wonder, what existing plans- or kit-built designs come closest to being a two-seat FRED: wood-and-fabric construction, affordable engine, quick-folding...
A Pietenpol would be good with FRED folding bits on the wings. The Escapade series of aircraft also have a nice folding mechanism and are 2 seaters, so, maybe...

Members: This group with world wide members and a strong European presence should have significant interest in this engine development... Please do a google...
Ian Pearson has finished the painting of his wings and is now working on his wheels. He might have the old wheels off of G-BMMF. Nice to recycle these bits....
Well, mine is a long wooden nose and long tubular mount but Ian, I believe, has short fuselage and a tubular mount of some sort. Both VW, obviously. Neither...
I have posted to my blog a photo and some notes from Eric on a new FRED modification. It's a small access door to make it easier to climb in and out of the...
This mod is only relatively new, in fact, since you can see it in the March 2010 photos of N9944Y in the "Original FRED" album in the photos section of this...
