HAWG or Eagle?????
Wow, just weighed my Avonds F-15 and I guess between the Pegasus SP, full cockpit, flaps, speed brake, gear doors, etc, the overall weight is
I'm embarrased to say
28 lbs dry That doesn't even include the wing tanks and pylons.
Does anyone have any experience flying a heavy Eagle?????

You'll be just fine. Especially with that powerplant. My first Yellow F-15 was that weight wet. I first flew it on a P-80. It was sluggish climbing out, but once up, it was nice. That Eagle will fly alright at practically twice that wieght.....

Mike,
We have a Skymaster F-15 with MW-54, a small 12lb turbine, not high perform but no problem. The Yellow, Skymaster, & Avonds all about the similar size F-15s. As Shaun said, you shouldn't have problem for your 28lb. F-15 with a 35lb Pegasus SP.

But for the boudin and beer I drank in Louisianna in my younger years, I'd be as fit as Mike 
Wocket, I found a portable fork lift you can use to get it out of Mikes truck on ebay for a couple hundred bucks, the good news is, you can also use it to lift Mike off the ground after he faints from seeing his three year project finnally go airborn!
