RE: Eagle II Mods
KW Counter,
I was in a similar situation several years ago; I had purchased the Eagle II to learn on but found a built Freedom 20 shortly after. I learned to fly on the freedom. I kept the Eagle for the same reason. I basically built the plane as designed except that I changed the airfoil to an Eppler 197 and took out most of the dihedral. I also mounted the engine inverted and cowled in the nose. I bought a set of aluminum landing gear and made it as a tail dragger. Wonderfully flying airplane. The wing construction was almost as per plan, I simply substituted the new airfoil. And of course I had to cut down the fuse to match the new airfoil. Wasn't difficullt. If you want a copy of the airfoil, I can mail it to you. It is already the right length for the Eagle.
Cheers!
