RE: If kits didn't exist ?
That christen Eagle is a nice looking plane. We had one out to our field a little over a year back and it is really nice looking. Never got to see it fly though, the wierdest starter mishap I've seen yet dashed the hopes of flying that day. Anyway after getting ready to break my New Years resolution, no new planes until the build board is clear, I was saved, they are out of stock.
