FRED is 60 years old today! November 3rd, 2023 is the 60th anniversary of the first flight of Eric Clutton's Flying Runabout Experimental Design aka FRED. I filmed this little clip when I visited Eric in Tullahoma, Tennessee back in 2012. Sadly, Eric passed away in February 2022 but his simple, practical, affordable, safe and fun little aeroplane soldiers on. That FREDs continue to be built and flown here and there all over the world is a fitting tribute to, as Eric liked to joke, "Stoke-on-Trent's other aeroplane designer". (R.J. Mitchell of Supermarine Spitfire fame grew up in the same town.) Here's wishing blue skies to all the FRED builders, pilots, and fans out there on this special day!

Reputedly Mildew Wolf's kind of motorhome, let alone the kind Honey and Sis would want to have a "pop-up" surprise shortwave worldcasting station emenating from (and then again, you wonder how stainless steel bodies characterising Airstream and Holiday Rambler camper trailers would impact upon shortwave worldcasting signals as much as atmospherics).

A bit more of a personal #MugshotMonday post today, featuring this lovely denby green cup that my parents got as a wedding present as part of a crockery set, nearly all of which I've now stolen because I love the colour and style of it. (Don't worry they have plenty of different sets that they prefer using! These were up in the attic). . It was my mother-in-law who pointed out that we'd chosen nearly the same colour of kitchen tiles, which was indeed just a happy coincidence. For those who don't know, the hubby and I completely redid a lot of the house when we first moved here last year (I shared lots of renovation updates during the process so you can check out those posts further down in my profile), and the kitchen was definitely the biggest job. We ripped everything out and built it all back up from scratch, and I'm so happy with the result. . There's something very satisfying about creating your own space, and being able to adapt it to your exact wishes. Back in early prehistory, it's generally assumed that houses would have been rebuilt on a fairly regular basis. In more nomadic societies of course this is self-evident, but even when people started settling more permanently, the materials being used for construction meant that they wouldn't last for multiple years without needing renovation. I like to imagine that each rebuild brought with it new little personalisations from each family member. Added shelves, extra hooks, that kind of thing! . Have you ever renovated or rebuilt or redecorated something? . #renovation #home #homebuilt #kitchen #CuppaTea #TeaDay @denbypottery #SelfBuilt #prehistoric #archaeology #ArchaeologyLovers #archaeologist https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqHiJPqUKY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FRED plans and Eric Clutton’s books are available again!
Tumblr media
Benjamin Mehalic, winner of the First Annual Eric Clutton Memorial Swap Meet & Fun Fly at the Coffee Airfoilers Radio Control Club in Tullahoma, Tennessee, smiles in a May 21, 2022 photo by Jonathan Holt.
While Eric Clutton passed away on February 6, 2022, he left instructions for his friend Jonathan Holt to continue selling his books and FRED plans to benefit the local model aircraft club Eric loved so much.  Plans and books are once again available and you can find the details at https://cluttonfred.info/plansbooks.  I’ll let Jonathan tell the rest:
We had the First Annual Eric Clutton Memorial Swap Meet & Fun Fly that weekend.  Our Club President, Don Cleveland, came up with the idea of “Buy It & Fly It”, which is buy the aircraft at the swap meet and fly it at the fun fly.  I came up with a criteria for judging which included content from the swap meet, effort it took to make it fly and doing it on the least amount on money.  Benjamin won the judging on all aspects.  It was fitting that it was won with a British fighter and a new generation of RC pilot to carry the torch.  It really is a perfect situation.
The young man is a club member that had only seen Eric in passing.  Eric was always gracious with his time and advice with young people in the hobby.  I’m guessing that may have came from his career as a school teacher.  I know you knew Eric from the full-scale aircraft world and so did I somewhat, but in the model aircraft world Eric was all about swap meets and building models from scratch.  He, like myself, took a lot of pride in being able to do that in as frugal a way as possible.  He would have really liked this event.
I agree completely that this is a fitting tribute to Eric in a way that would have made him smile.  Hats off to Jonathan and the Coffee Airfoilers!

Your ego and insurance
One of my recent articles in the Cessna and Piper Owners Magazines. If you are a member you can read it there. If not you can hear more about this topic at my @SunnFunFlyIn forum titled “Is your ego buying aircraft you can’t get insured?”

These are homebuilts based on a easy to build design from the 1920s that could be built with scrap wood and whatever engine you could get your hands on. People still build em today with the same idea.
