I'm happy to report that the plans for the Fly Baby are back on the market again. Pete Bowers' son and stepdaughter, plus an old family friend, have taken over the plans business and are ready to fill orders. The price is the same ($65), and make the check payable to "The Estate of Peter M....

Fly Baby plans are now available again. The cost has risen to $145, but it does include both the monoplane and biplane sections, and the plans set has a new lay-flat binder. Pete hadn't raised the plans price in the last twenty years, and when they surveyed the market, they found that most...

Due to an Estate dispute, marketing of the plans for the Bowers Fly Baby has stopped. It is unknown how long they'll be off the market. Or that matter, whether they'll ever return. If you have a set of plans you no longer need, I can help put you in contact with potential buyers. Also, EAA...

With the plans for the Fly Baby off the market for the foreseeable future, I'm trying to gather used plans sets for resale to interested homebuilders. I will either buy the plans outright, or put owners in touch with folks who want a set. Please contact me at Ron Wanttaja

What is your opinion on fly by wire systems on private planes, such as the Adam 500? Would you want a system with no mechanical connections to control surfaces? SeeYaa:) Harbin

G'day Our small Club is going to have a fly-in soon and we would like to have some flying competitions. Would anyone have any ideas as to what we could do? I have heard of spot landings and limbo, but really don't know how to set them up.

It's a 'Cushion Needle,' okay? Yeah, you can call it a 'Rib Stitching Needle' if you want to. But expect the price to double (or more). Sometimes it's called a 'Quilting Needle,' 'Button Needle' or just the generic 'Long Upholstery Needle' but whatever it's called, you need at least one and more...

Looks like our old friend Paul is at it again. Reminds me a lot of the contractor-guy in that movie "The Money Pit". (When will my house be done? Oh, in about two weeks!) Right. And Jerry Lewis said that we were only a few years away from a cure for MD. That was in 1977. At least the reporter...

Met a very well-marked High School student today who wants to do flying as a career. He has one problem, he is red-green color blind. He believes that the services will not take him as a military pilot, but he would still love to fly. Are there airlines or cargo carriers who will take a...
