Fisher FP 606 Sky Baby
Well established Fisher Flying
Products has reproduced the flying qualities of many classic
airplanes in structurally sound and extremely affordable aircraft.
These ultra light and experimental aircraft have proven aerodynamic
stability and desirable flight characteristics.
From the company’s modern plant in Edgeley, North Dakota, the
components for 15 classic replicas are manufactured by trained and
experienced craftsmen. Research and development for new aircraft is
on-going. Fisher Flying Products’ entire line of aircraft is sold
throughout the United States and in 30 foreign countries.
All models are available in two build-it-yourself forms:
A standard construction kit, which offers the builder the experience
of assembling the entire aircraft from pre-cut, shaped and slotted
wooden pieces, machined hardware, a formed fibreglass cowling and
aluminium fuel tank.
A quick-build kit which contains a number of pre-fabricated
components in addition to the standard pre-cut and formed parts
found in the standard kit.
Both kits come complete with easy-to-follow instructions and the
industry’s finest full scale-full size blueprints. These blueprints
allow the builder to essentially build the aircraft right on top of
the blueprints with standard household tools.
Standard construction kits can be completed by the average builder
in 400–500 hours and quick-build kits reduce the construction time
to 200–300 hours.
Flying the FP-606 Sky Baby
The 606 handles much like the 150 or 152. A steerable nose wheel
points you in the right direction and full power has you airborne in
150 feet or less.
The first thing you’ll notice is what you don’t notice. Vibration
and noise are minimal, thanks to tuned exhaust, geared reduction
drive and the Lord engine mounts. With the wing above, everything
below is clearly visible.
A cruise range of 130 miles provides generous air time. Suspension
landing gear and a landing roll of only 150 feet lets you put it
down almost anywhere.
