This is a very rare Christen Eagle 1 built from a Pilot kit that has been out of production for at least 13-14 years. This is the scale version of the single place world class aerobatic biplane flow by Christen Sweitezer in the 1984 World Championship in England. I was lucky enough to acquire this one-of-a-kind model from my good friend and master builder Chris Walsh. Chris made numerous modifications to the original Pilot kit, including custom scale cabain struts , carbon fiber firewall, custom soft engine mount and much, much more.

Wingspan: 50"
Length: 43"
Weight: 7.12 lbs.
Engine: Satio 80

Hey dude,

Don't know how you managed that one, but "good on you!"

You both do awesome work, so at least it went to someone who will really appreciate it.

I've got to know...What was Chris thinking!? That has been his pride and joy forever.

Does this mean you are going to stop work on your Christian Eagle, or are you starting a fleet? ;)

See you at Bayside...someday.

Scott

I've always wanted an eagle...

I almost bought one of those CMPRO eagles but I'd wanna re do the graphics like the one above...

we Have one here at our local airport.
He quite often tears past our club field doing 4 point rolls from horizon to horizon...
