Curious if anyone is interested in selling their Fly Baby in the midwest area at this time. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and have a hanger to keep it warm... I...
I'm curious if there are any opinions on the A-80 out there? I don't know much about it, but saw that one of the ones for sale on Barnstormers had one in it....
... at the Tri-county Airport near Lone Rock and Spring Green. LNR. I might be interested in selling one or the other. Neither are flying at the moment, but...
The A-80 is the species of the A-series (basically the 65 only turning a bit faster), if it's a true A-80, it should have some "good stuff" in it but don't...
From my perspective, the A-80 is not worth the effort. On paper it looks good, but you would be better off to build an A-75 and simply turn a higher rpm. The...
hello group, I have been looking for a B-3 jacket and have found one or two on line from 400 to 800 dollars. i could not pay that kind of money at this time in...
Sounds like a good deal. I got an A-2 from Wilson Leather about 15 years ago. I haven't worn it all that much (It's heavy and weighs on my shoulders) and now...
... or ... money ... sale ... I got my A-2 from cooper mfr, the only original manufacturer still in business. My jacket is made of horse hide per exact...
... My wife bought me a Cooper B-3 for Christmas a few years back, it is really nicely made. I've promised myself a Cooper A-2 if I drop half a hundredweight...
As I've mentioned a time or two, I've been aviation-crazy nearly from birth. When I was about 14, my parents dragged me to downtown to shop for a new winter...
Just wanted to know if anybody is getting any flying done this weekend? i got my broken half round block of wood glued back in and went up for about and hour...
... Had a great flight today. Weather's been bad on the last two weekends, and since I'd flown last, my ANR headset had come back from repairs and I installed...
I did a side by side comparison of the new Lightspeed Zulu with my "old" but very good Lightspeed 30-3G in my canopied Fly Baby. The wing wire scream that I...
some young women in rather skimpy clothing. There were a bunch of tripod-mounted lights, and several large cameras. Ron if i was there i would have stayed and...
I'm not a rocket scientcist , but I'll bet a properly aimed 75hp prop blast would remove puffy little cotton balls................................John in...
... Now, now, I wouldn't embarrass a young woman that way. Besides, it didn't occur to me at the time. :-) ... That *did* occur to me. But I was just three...
The 2009 Fly Baby calendar is done: http://www.bowersflybaby.com/calendar.html It's a bit of a departure this year...several folks sent great shots FROM the...
Another great calendar Ron, lovely pics...particularly the February biplane, any details available as to owner or what its' colour scheme is based on? Roy...

If you've got one laying around I'm shopping. Yea, I know there are some fairly cheap ones available new but things are really tight right now and I've got...
i went flying today with the temp at 31degress. i know that is warm to some but how do you flyers up north handle it? i was dressed warm with B3 jacket and im...
... Were you wearing goggles? If not, you'll want to pick up a pair, just for winter flying if nothing else. http://www.bowersflybaby.com/stories/goggles.html...
For what it's worth. I fly a Pietenpol and do fly in cooler weather. I have been told that a Piet cockpit is more windy than one in a Fly Baby. The best...
I'm curious about the pilot exposure with a standard Fly Baby windscreen, as I will be making essentially a "first flight" on my hanger-mate's Fly Baby shortly...
