The Found FBA-1 was a 1940s Canadian four-seat cabin monoplane produced by Found Brothers Aviation.

Design and development

Found Brothers Aviation was formed in 1946 to produce a new design by Captain S.R. Found, the Found FBA-1A. The FBA-1 was a high-wing monoplane powered by a 140 hp (104 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, designed from its inception to be operated on wheels, tundra tires, skis and on floats.[1]

The aircraft first flew on 13 July 1949. It was later developed into an all-metal four/five seater the Found FBA-2.
