I looked around the EAA website and didn't find Pober Pixie or Acro Sport plans.
Was wondering if plans liability insurance got too expensive or not available?

What?!? And risk the airshow business, the corporate sponsors...? You must be thinking of an organization dedicated to promoting experimental aircraft.

Aircraft Spruce used to sell the EAA plans, I don't know if they still do.

But Aircraft Spruce doesn't sell the plans. See here http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...poberpixie.php. This catalog page says to order plans from Acro Sport Inc, Box 462 Hales Corners WI.
Is Acro Sport Inc. affiliated with EAA?
I suppose Paul Poberezny owned Acro Sport Inc?
My real question to Paul Poberezny if he was still alive today would be: can a designer still sell plans today like he did? I read in his column that he had insurance. But I don't think insurance is affordable for plans sales any more.
If you're an EAA member, the complete series on building a Fly Baby is available in the Sport Aviation archives. Details are here:

The LAA in the UK still sells complete plans for the homebuilt Isaacs Fury, Isaacs Spitfire, Druine Turbulent and Currie Wot.

The U.K. has more sensible tort laws, I think.
I am trying to determine if plans sales in the U.S. is still viable.
