Scale 50% Christen Eagle full scale exclusiv-kit

TLFMM

50cc
Hello everybody,

My Name is Thomas, from the south of Germany.
Since 2013 I´m working on my CHRISTEN EAGLE ( 100% scale ) and
also on the Project of the 50% CHRISTEN EAGLE as a Special exclusive Kit we
decided to do like Frank Christensen did in the 80´s.
The reason for this Project is: There is no good EAGLE Kit 50% scale, which is
really looking like the original EAGLE. We did all the construction in CAD 3D
and the fuselage and tail structure is like the 100% EAGLE welded from tubes.

We are reporting in a German rc-Network to give a look at the first 4 EAGLES
we are building to test all the Kit parts we are manufacturing and to prepare the
Manuals and photos ....

A lot of RC modeler from US which are interested in the Project and the kit would love to have
a thread in english language - so we are doing here.

Sorry about my english - hope ist getting better in the month´s we are reporting here !!!

We are looking for a US Import Company as well, to send ordered kits in one crate/Container
to one adress to save Money.
If there are any ideas, interrests or whishes - please let me know.

The following Pictures ( sorry for the German words on it ) is the first view into the Kit Project.

The Pictures from the ready built 50% eagle and the flight Pictures are from the prototype
which has not the finally shape of the cowling, wheelpants , canopy - we did that with stock
parts only to do the first flight test.

Prototype flight Video: ->

Have fun and Kind regards from the Black-Forest
in Germany
Thomas

Thomas, no apology required; your English is probably much better than our German.

Awesome project!! Thanks for bringing this to Giant Scale News.
