The epitome of an honest-to-goodness home-built light aircraft the
Bowers Fly-Baby has all the elements you could possibly ask for in an
aeroplane thatΆs born in a domestic garage, sharing itΆs living space
with the washing machine, the tumble dryer and the kids bikes. I mean,
just look at it – Chunky wheels, a W.W.I vee-strut fixed undercarriage,
an open cockpit, an engine that hangs out in the breeze, landing and
flying wires, and overall proportions that prompt oohs and aahs from all
who clap eyes on it. Who can resist its charm, its character or its
agricultural home-grown loveliness. ItΆs a peach of an aeroplane and
now, thanks to Seagull Models, you too can own and fly this delightful
69” span 4-channel R/C version. Think about it just for a minute
4-channels, a fixed undercarriage, a big floaty wing, perfect
proportions, and a host of scale detail, including all that wonderful
wiring, a pilot, instrument panel, engine detail, a sprung tail wheel
and, best of all, an essence of real wood and fabric. It all amounts to
an aeroplane thatΆs guaranteed to be hassle free, a pleasure to fly, and
a real picture in the air.
