3D Printed Eclipson Fly Baby

(Please note these designs are being reproduced with permission from Eclipson)

The Eclipson Fly Baby is a modern take on the classic Bowers Fly Baby. This iconic aircraft won the Experimental Aircraft Association's design competition in 1962. It was specifically designed for easy assembly in a home garage using basic hand tools, making it accessible for the average person. In our 3D printed RC version, we have stayed true to the original design, including the use of fishing lines to reinforce the wing and landing gear. This provides both a realistic appearance and structural strength without the need for costly carbon fiber tubes. Additionally, the wing is detachable for added convenience.

(Did you know, if you pay via EFT instead of card, it allows us to invest more into developing kits, workshops & events to grow the hobby!!!)
