Scale 50% Christen Eagle full scale exclusiv-kit

[TLFMM]

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.

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

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

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

That is an incredible achievement in modeling.
What engine is in the prototype? Any pictures of it and the exhaust?
