Default EPP Eagle Kit, A Must Have!

I just finished my EPP Eagle from http://shop.eflypower.com/shop/views.asp?hw_id=1374 and all I can say is WOW!! This thing is a bird magnet, I took it out to a local ball park and launched into a thermal, within 5 minutes I had a large buzzard circling with me. In a few more minutes I had a Hawk join in the fun from high altitude. The Hawk appeared from out of nowhere, he checked me out for a few minutes then flew off in another direction. The kit comes in two flavors, with motor and without motor. Any speed 400 sized brushless motor and a 8x4.7 prop will work fine. I'm using a 165 Watt Little Screamer motor coupled to a Jeti 18 Amp speed controller and a 2100 Thunder Power 3-Cell Lipo. It seems to get anywhere from 30-to 60 minutes of flight time with this setup. If you can get into a good thermal you can fly much longer. There is a very large post about this kit over on Ezone in the foamy kits section. I'm including a few pictures of mine. I strongly suggest you get one yourself and have a ball flying it!
