Congratulations on your choice of this kit for your
next project. The Fly Baby is a Fun Scale
™ model of
a true classic aircraft. It has the presence that only a
big model can carry off. The full scale Fly Baby was
actually derived from a model aircraft. This kit is a
model of that full scale aircraft.
The Dynaflite Fly Baby was designed to allow the
modeler a wide selection of power plants from a .75
two stroke to a 25 cc gas engine. With an airplane
this large and a power plant selection this broad,
there are a few problems that may come up. If you
use a light .75 two stroke you will need to add
weight to the nose. A .91 4 stroke will balance very
closely. With a gas motor like the US Engines 25cc
you will need to add weight in the tail.
At Dynaflite we take pride in offering kits that are
simple and straightforward to build and provide
value for your modeling dollar. Because of the size
and cost of this model, we assume you have built
several models and have a general working
knowledge of modeling and its terms.
If you HAVE NOT built and flown several kits, do
yourself a favor - back up and get some experience
before beginning this kit.
Please inventory and inspect all parts carefully
before starting to build! If any parts are missing,
broken or defective or if you have any questions
about building or flying this model, please call us at
(217) 398-8970 and we'll be glad to help. If you are
calling for replacement parts, please look up the
part numbers and have them ready when calling.
