FLYBABY...
ULTIMATE dream plane?

Don't know what yer smokin', Bob, but....
could you send some to Kansas City? g

I enjoyed my Flybaby for what it was 40 years ago.
The dream, and the open cockpit was unique, but....
the dream and honeymoon were very short lived.
It was slow, far from aerobatic and damn cold for
too much of the year to be user friendly for me.

I never could bring myself to relax with the maze
of floppy flying wires. No loops, no rolls, no spins...
and after 100 hours, the boredom did me in.

There is a difference between living and being ALIVE.

YMMV.
