This post leads into a question i've been wondering about. I picked up a CG Eaglet 50 from another club member recently. It is easily a vintage 80's build in great shape, needs a engine and radio. The ailerons are evenly, slowly, raised up towards the wingtip. Was, or is, that a common practice to put some washout in the ailerons?
I have an old Eaglet up in the shelves that I used for training youngsters for some 5 years. I washed out the wings just like you mentioned. I still cut the ailerons short several inches. Flew great. It just got tattered and as yours, it was a tad heavy. Fox .19 was an excellent power pack for it. Still on it. It could fly again if I wanted it to.
Also, I have another Eaglet that I fly on occassion with an o.s.25. I think it flies a little Heavy. I need another engine for the Eaglet I recently picked-up. Would an O.S. 15 be a good choice for an Eaglet instead of another .25 Jag215
Should do well if your Eaglet is on the light side.
Good Luck!
