I have been in Florida for the last 2 weeks for work, with the long work hours and the time difference I have not had much time to catch up on progress.

Manny, If your not working on her, (send it to me) i'll finish her!

Well after a little over a year, the Eagle is finally nearing Completion. The Eagle was put on the back burner for a long time while life was in the way.... As of today the only work left is to get the radio installed and cover the top wings. She is currently 90% covered and has the Eagle graphics already in place. When I get some free time I will get some updated pictures posted.

I need to retire like you guys!

See you soon...

Nothing really to add, I just want to see this when it's done. Looks like a great build.

Mike Busutil · 02-01-2011, 03:51 PM

Well here's some progress.

A few small details are left. The flight wires are functional (No wing bolts) so we have to weld these and install them. And we have to finish the engine baffles. Almost there.....

Mike it looks GREAT! Glad to see you guys got it done! Now we just need a flight report and Maiden video & pics!! LOL Hope alls well! Take care.

Mike Busutil · 02-01-2011, 04:07 PM

Thanks for the comments. Forgues, quick question for you. What is the best prop to run on this 4 cylinder? We currently have a FUCHS Carbon 36x10 that was recconmended by a friend. I would prefer to get a wide blade prop instead of a narrow tip. Thoughts?

what size is the engine. that would make a big difference. I think if you run a 36*10 it better be a narrow blade

This is the 3W 212 Competition series. I was told the 36x10 is the largest I should go.

I would think this is a bit big for this size engine
I am running a 36*10 narrow blade right now on my EVO 300 cc 4 cylinder. but I can find out for you since a friend of mine is using the same engine as you are....

Mike Busutil · 02-01-2011, 04:19 PM

Thank you sir.
