Overview

The Baby Great Lakes (one place) and Buddy Great Lakes (two place) aircraft are well proven designs which are easy to construct and fly, provide classic good looks, and are aerobatic. Construction is of wood and steel tubing and plans are well presented for the first time builder. We acquired all rights to these designs in May 1996 and now offer packs, plans, raw materials kits and pre-fabricated kits for these fine aircraft. Contact us for information on info packs and plans. Note: The Baby Great Lakes Main Tank Standard holds 10 gallons. The Baby Great Lakes Tank Stretch is 3" longer and holds 11 gallons. |

Baby Great Lakes Info Pack
Ive been wanting to build a baby lakes forever!!!!!!!
I re-built and currently own Super Baby Lakes N-4611S. It's awesome with a 135 HP Lycoming O-290-D2, Wood prop, Madrid Red paint and White accents, 15 gallon tank, Starter, Alternator, Radio and Transponder. It flies aerobatics every time it's up and is simply a little Hot Rod! Call me at 860-639-1813 or buck@ussportoptics.com
The plans arrived in good shape and included almost all the information that one would need to build the plane. However, it lacks the construction manual which is definitely needed to construct the plane properly. So after buying plans for $295 dollars I will also have to find and purchase the manual elsewhere as Spruce does not carry it or even knows it exists.
