We are glad to introduce you to our version of the classic Bowers Fly Baby! This beautiful airplane flew for the first time in 1962 becoming the winner of the Experimental Aircraft Association's design competition. It was designed to be constructed in a garage, using only basic hand tools, by a person of average "home handyman" skills.
In our 3D printed RC version we have tried to maintain that spirit of the original design. The most significant concept is the use of fishing lines to reinforce the wing and landing gear. These cables provide a nice scale look to the airplane whilst providing enough structural strength without the use of expensive carbon fiber tubes. The wing is also detachable.
The moderate size of the airplane, in combination with "vase mode" design philosophy, will allow you to print it really fast and with an outstanding outer surface quality; even with very cheap printers!

I really enjoy watching the build videos. One I will be able to afford a 3D printer to start building these.
Verdadeira arte 👏👏
like expected another amzing looking plane! Im just building my first Plane from eclipson (Cobra) and the maiden is coming soon. Already while building I noticed the great attention for detail. Keep up the great work!
Well I purchased the xl model going together great , opted for full pla build with bigger motor highly recommended , think I’ll have a go at this very soon
Nice job guys 👍
Glad to hear that your model Xl is going well. Thanks for the support ;)
Maravilhoso como sempre, Parabéns
great looking plane, I especially like the way you make the parts fit together!!!
but I noticed a long hole in the wing for a say carbon fiber tube? is this possible? thanks mike
The wing is for the servo cables. No need of CF tubes for this one since it is reinforced with the fishing lines.

Would it be lighter to combine old and new methods, so use 3D printed ribs to replace wood, but still use the wrapping to keep the weight down?
Yes, but the extra workload and extra price will not probably justify the weight reduction. LW-PLA planes already have adequate wing loading. In fact there are already few planes using that method, and they are not so popular. Search Kraga
I have thought of this idea as well. The only issue would be that the covering is applied with heat and that would warp the plastic ribs
That is awesome i wanna build this model for my first build
What top/bottom and wall thickness do you recommend? I purchased some esun lw pla hopefully that works well
Great!!!! PLA is not available for this plane?
Thanks. No, for this one is highly recommendable the use of foaming filaments in order to have a good flying experience.
muito top!
The link for the free download DOES NOT WORK!
Hi, what model of 3D printer is needed for this project? and how much does the material cost to print it? Thank you
Any 3D printer will work. Depend on the material. Here you can find more information about it: www.eclipson-airplanes.com/filaments
