[net.aviation] Christian Eagle kits

jeff@kestrel.ARPA (09/13/85)

Has anyone out there considered building a Christian Eagle I or II?

If so -- did you do it, did it fly, how much work was it, ..., would you
	 do it again.

     or

Am I the only one who has considered doing this?  Have you heard any
horror stories on this?  Am I crazy?

Thanks, Jeff Kitson  (jeff@kestrel)

	Jeff,

	While I have not built an Eagle I or II I have two
	friends that have. 

	One, in California is just about ready to put it in
	the air.  He has taken about 18 months of part time
	(one/two day(s) a week) of work.  The other, in Texas
	has about 500 hours logged.

	BOTH are seriously considering building another for
	sale.  It takes some money and a LOT of time and
	effort but there is one overriding benefit.

	YOU WILL make a better built plane (not design just
	care putting together) then the average assembly built
	aircraft.  After all...Its going to be YOUR tail in
	it.

	Good Luck.
