MAJOR ATTACHMENT DETAILS
Some confusion as to "What Fits Where" has resulted from the serialized presentation of FLY
BABY plans in SPORT AVIATION magazine (starting in January, 1963) and the delivery of plans
by chapters to early purchasers. Without a single overall assembly or drawing, or all of the major
section drawings together at one time for comparison, a misunderstanding of the functions of
various parts is inevitable. To offset this, the supplementary drawing presented above has been
prepared to show how and at what points the wing, landing gear, and other components attach to
the fuselage.
The wing spars attach to the bottoms of Stations 3 and 5 by means of 1/2" pins passing through
the end fittings and the wood. The landing gear vee's attach by means of AN-4-44 bolts at Stations
2 and 4. The seat rails of Figure 1-17 are mounted between Stations 4 and 5, and the combined
floor and wing hinge tube supports of Figure 1-18 are between Stations 2 and 3. The control stick
torque tube bearing blocks are mounted on the aft side of Station 3 and the front side of Station 4
as shown in Figure 1-17. The upper wing wire anchors and the instrument panel are mounted at
the top of Station 3 per Figures 1-20 and 1-21. The throttle is mounted through the lower inside
bolt hole of the left-hand wing wire anchors.
