Nope. Fly Baby empty weight is about 650 lbs, vs. the 255-lb max of
Part 103. Heck, the Continental engine weighs almost as much as the
Part 103 limit.
There is a look-alike plane called the "Ultrababy" that might qualify.
It's a 75% scale 'Baby using a 2 cylinder VW conversion. It's listed as
300 pounds, but the seller claims it can qualify as an ultralight with
some engines.
