Show us your bad ass plane!

[Mike.Busutil]

I have a hand built 50% scale Christen Eagle powered by the Awesome sounding 3W 212 competition series 4 cylinder!



Including opening canopy, custom dash with working switches and LED's, two piece cowling, custom vinyl graphics, real screw's throughout the fuselage panels and functioning flight wires!



She was built slowly over the course of about two and a half years.



She has twin fuel tanks, Fromeco batteries, Smart-Fly power expander, Smart-Fly turbo regulator, twin Smart-Fly fiber optic kill switches and all JR 8711 Ultra Torque SX Servos. She turns a Carbon Fiber 3W 32x14 prop and a 6.3/4" spinner powder coated to match the white covering.



She is truly BAD ASS!

I didn't think we could post porn! As many times as I've seen pics of it, I still get a chub. That is one fine Eagle.
