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!

I now have half a dozen flights on my EPP Eagle and the more I fly it the more I love it. I have to say that in calm conditions it flies better than anything else I've ever flown as far as three channel sailplanes go. It had a fantastic glide ratio and if there is any thermal lift it can stay up for hours. Yesterday I went out early, around 8:00am and had one flight that was over 43 minutes and I used 1650mAh out of a 2100mAh pack. I have to tell you though that other birds really do not like the EPP Eagle and will attack it at the slightest provocation. The cool factor is great too and this bird gets lots of attention from spectators.

Can someone tell me where I can find a set of assembly instructions for the eagle. I thought they were on the eflypower web site but can't find them.
