Over the next few high-velocity years, I owned several family friendly
airplanes including a Bonanza, Cessna 172, and two Stinsons. Finally the
"need for speed" overwhelmed me and we began another homebuilt project, a Harmon
Rocket with substantial F-1 upgrades which I named "Crazy Horse." One
of the upgrades was an improved tailwheel with better clearance and
superior handling.
Hi! This is Vince from Flyboy Accessories. Thanks for stopping by the
"About Us" portion of the site. Flyboy Accessories is a family owned and
operated company originally founded to serve RV, Rocket and other
experimental aircraft builders. We strive to bring high quality aviation products
to you for low prices.
The Flyboy story goes back to my
childhood. My father was a flight instructor, pilot examiner, and
author. As you can imagine, while growing up, aviation was a big part of my life.
I got the flying bug and soon
finished my
first airplane, a slick little RV-4, that I called "Chief Pontiac" in
honor of Pontiac, IL where I was born. What a fabulous little
airplane!
What began as a need for a few tailwheel forks for the Rocket guys, has
developed into an entire line of products and accessories for all types of
aircraft. However, we'll never forget our roots. The
RV/Rocket
series of aircraft are incredible performers. Our heart belongs to
them.
