Re: Manny Busutil's 50% Christen Eagle Build
The Cowl is a solid one piece, but My dad has cut it in two pieces, (Top and Bottom). So we can take the hood off to show off the Engine, Also for easy maintenance. He has also made a polished Aluminum firewall behind the motor box. I will post pictures in a few.

Re: Manny Busutil's 50% Christen Eagle Build
Here the motor box and the Aluminum fire wall are complete, also the canopy has been painted. Next, the Fire wall will get Polished, the Rudder servo tray and fuel tank tray will get built and installed.

Re: Manny Busutil's 50% Christen Eagle Build
Hey Snap......
Does a Snapasaurus with a Biplane make you even MORE BadAss because there are two sets of wings?
