The Baby Ace is an ultralight monoplane specially designed for the amateur builder. It is the successor to the original Corben Baby Ace, which first flew in 1931 and was extensively redesigned in 1955 as the Model D. Baby Aces usually carry Continental engines rated from 65 to 85 hp, and owners consider their performance excellent. Construction consists of a steel-tube fuselage, all-wood wings, and fabric covering. Kits for model D and E are still offered.
