Default RE: GP Christen Eagle II

For anyone interested. The Eagle should have a shorter fuselage than the Pitts for scale. Also a shorter distance from the flight deck to the start of the rudder. The wing chord should be narrower as well.

I have the GP Pitts powered with a Brisson 3.2. 16 1/2 pounds, dry. Weight includes modifications to correct design/manufacturing defects. AWESOME power to weight ratio. From personal experience in other planes, I would consider holding off the Eagle purchase until the second production run.
