Default Giant Scale Planes Cristain Eagle

Xtraflyr,

Check out Dave McDonald's site about his Eagle; http://mypage.yhti.net/~dmcdnld/christeneagle.htm I've talked with him before so drop him an email and he can fill you in directly about they way his B.O. Eagle flew.

BTW is you use 3/4 or .56 oz glass you won't add all that much weight. It'll be about the same as econokote or oracover. More work to be sure but definitely ding resistant. I did a Combat Models F-16 with it and it added no extra weight. Almost the same size as a B.O. F-16 but at least 4-5lbs less in AUW. I also just finished glassing a small speed 400 electric P-47 and here the weight is very critical. I think I added about an ounce when it was all done. Both are on my web site if you want to take a look.
