Thanks Ed, I was hoping you were a little closer, I'm in Suffolk, VA. Thanks for the additional pix, the overall shots helped as I have never seen a biplane...
Charles, If you get supplemental biplane plans I would like some. If you would like some pretty pictures of a biplane; Kitplanes July 2000 had an article...
... I regret to report that Gene passed away from cancer on the 2nd of March. He was a Pietenpol pilot, but liked the Fly Baby as well and would chime in...

Ron, how can I assist? I'm an Australian builder (with plans) and I'm sure that I would also benefit from a set of links and errata pages. I would gladly...
Great Ron....thanks!!! Independence from the current (and extremely frustrating) plans ordering process. Folks can get started building their Fly Baby...
Gang, Intead of "errata," which could be construed as violative of copyright, I would suggest commentaries, which would be fair usage. Caveat: I was not an...
... Thanks, Mick. Best way for folks to help is to check over what I put on the web page to find places where I missed something or made an error. It's not a...

Well said. I particularly like the "Gymkana" vids with (heavily edited) footage of a driver slamming around a closed course, doing donuts around pylons, doing...
Ron, I also agree the first run of the new page looks good. I did find one broken link on the tech page, I get to wandering the site some times. Under "Wood...

Good stuff Ron...thanks for putting it out there! The "Wild West Show" (Dick Jonas plays it on his CD) was a favorite (among a few colorful other ones) when I...
I am back to my project. My plane had damage to the vertical tail in a flip. I pulled the fabric and was very unhappy with the repair. I am rebuilding this...
Hi Bob, When I replaced Stringbag's tail post and fin, the rudder had a sizable trim tab on it. I offset my fin something like 3/8" to compensate for the trim...
Thanks Drew, that is less than I expected but the root of the tail is quite long. My old trim tab is also huge. Did you consider working out an adjustable...
Bob, I'll try and gustimate the offset when I go out to the airport tomorrow, I've been at sea for a few weeks. Every FlyBaby is built and rigged different, I...
Hello all, Question, I got Cub 8.00 X 4 wheels and brakes with very nice wheel pants on my flybaby now. I am thinking of switching over to grove wheels and...
I can't put my hands on dimensions, but the 8.00x6 tire has a slightly bigger OD, about 2" more than the 8.00x4. The 8.00x4 are about 1.5" wider overall than...
Got word that Hank Smulders passed on, a couple of weeks back. Hank owned a Canadian Fly Baby biplane. Also got belated news that Hayden Ferguson died a year...
