Clutton FRED

This is a site for builders, owners and fans of Eric Clutton's Flying Runabout Experimental Design, a classic homebuilt airplane better known as FRED. These pages were created in consultation with Eric and are maintained by homebuilt aircraft enthusiast and occasional microlight pilot Matthew Long.

    • Thanks to the nice folks at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), here are two vintage Sport Aviation articles on FRED.  The first is one by Eric Clutton himself and the second gives a glimpse of FRED in his very earliest incarnation.

    • Britain’s Light Aircraft Association (LAA), formerly the Popular Flying Association (PFA), must approve homebuilt aircraft designs to be built in the UK.  Here is FRED’s LAA Type Acceptance Data Sheet.
