Sincraft,

OK on what you actually need, the manual, to guide you. As I said, I don't know if it will be available, but I'll try to remember to ask.

The Eagle II I'm getting is the one my instructor soloed with when he learned. He's self-taught and said he ruined 3 planes learing. He learned very well though. His landings are as smooth as butter.

I don't know how old his plane is, or exactly how long he has been flying. He remarked once that the plane hasn't been flown for 3 or 4 years. So, it's at least that old.

He just put a new OS .46 FX on it. It's old enough to be broken in though. It runs pretty good unless it's tuned a little rich, then it wants to die when idling.

I'll take a look at the places where you suggest improvements can be made. I haven't built a plane yet, but can look at the inside of the gear on the back side. It is still wearing the tricycle landing gear.

He did say he built it from a kit. I think it has something like a 16 oz fuel tank. It flies about 20 minutes on a fueling.
