ahs christen eagle
i am picking up a ahs christen eagle 30% this weekend.does anybody know anything about this plane? i have the ususal specs. 30% 65"span, 16-20 lbs. 2.3 to 3.7 cid engine. this sounds like it could be the same size as a 1/3rd scale pitts? roughly? could i fly with a glow engine or am i going to have to invest in a gasser? just want some info on this plane. if i think it is too much for me to handle as far as getting a engine or building i will give you guys here on rcu first grabbs at a christen eagle. thanks doug. info on this mfgr would be appreciated! thanks.

the f16 is no where near finished. still stripping paint. i have other stuff to fly though. i have seen a pic of raineer in the background. looks like a very nice place to fly with a great view. will come down this spring or summer.

16-20 pounds finished would be too much for a Moki 2.1 in my opinion. A 50cc gasser would be a nice engine, or a G-62 since you'll probably need nose weight anyway. A G-62 on ignition will hover a 22 pound plane, so it's not really a slouch considering what you can pick one up for.
