This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.

Dad's Old Fly Baby Trailer
On my way home from the Antique fly-in I stopped at my parents house and picked up the old Fly Baby trailer. Dad had shortened it and added a box for his large scale RC models. He's quit flying them so we removed the box, put on new tires and replaced the inner wheel bearings, water had leaked in. It's now back here in Virginia.
I need to lengthen the tongue so I bought an old boat trailer for $200 and I'll combine the 2 trailers . The plan right now is to use the boat trailer to create a long tongue for the Fly Baby trailer. We'll see how all that works out. I figure the boat trailer cost me less than the steel needed for the longer tongue.
