Hi Texas 3D,

I did not catch your thread earlier.

I am 100% sure that it is the Lion Model Christen Eagle (made in Taiwan) and sold by Indy in U.S. If it has huge hardwood engine mounting beams and a very thick (read "heavy") plastic cowl then that's the one.

I built the last one out of the factory in Taiwan 5 years ago but sold it due to entering military service. I never got to fly it.

I still have the manual for it. I missed it so much I kept it thinking
I could get another one. Here's directly from the manual -

Engine - 0 degree thrust

C.G. - "The model balances 13mm (1/2") from leading edge of lower wing less fuel". The picure shows

Control surface settings -
Ailerons - 5mm each way
Elevator - 14mm each way
Rudder - 35mm each way

On the last page there's a note of caution "The elevator must not more more than 5~6mm each way, as more than this will cause stalls and snap rolls." I don't know why the difference. Maybe put 6mm as low rate and 14mm as high rate?

I had a 91-4C on mine. As I remember, it was a beautiful, but heavy plane! And I actually know the guy from Lion who "designed" this plane off the smaller EZ model. He also mentioned to me about wing-loading issues, especially on a fat and short-coupled bip-plane!

Good luck with flying - please let us know how it flys!
