RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

I never thought of that but I did mount both the wing struts and then mounted the cabanes. Thuss aligned the top wing with the lower. But I still do have the bounce once and a while. The wrinkle at...

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

If I remember I think that our tansmitters have a five mile range. So if this other field is only about four miles away that could be your culprit. Send me a PM on what price your want for the other...

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

Yes that is what I was referring to. But if you look a little closer to the engine mount plate on the fire wall there is a right thrust to it so you will have to have the cowel a little cocked in...

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

Don't forget to mount the engine and measure and mark the cowel for proper distance. Do this before you install the tailfeathers this way you can set the plane on the tail to make the engine set...

RE: Christen Eagle - Building, Alterations and Modifications

No the Christen Eagle isn't that hard to fly but it is a little tricky to land. When landing you got to stick the tailwheel before the mains and she won't bounce. But if you land like a regular...
