Valley Engineering does it all. They fabricate and build one and two seat airplanes, they carve their own props (under the well-known Culver brand), and they fashion their own four stroke engine (based on the Generac generator engine). Perhaps it is doing all this that allows the Smith family to offer unique, well-flying, and very reasonably priced airplanes. In this video we check out their Part 103 model, the Backyard Flyer.

Can you tell me what happen to the Backyard Flyer? Are they still in production? If not, why? Thank you.

Hi Daniel: Backyard Flyer is no longer in production. The company continues, but as they have for a long time: as Culver Props. I do not know why they made this decision but props continue to be a significant part of their enterprise.
