The Double Eagle is a high performance aerobatic pattern aircraft for .61 cu ins engines with pump or a equivilent electric power train. Span 62in, area 675 sq in, weight 9-1/2 lb.
We have replicated that model using a build up wing, for rigid and light weight construction and utilising moden electric conversion kist or classic IC engines with abundance of power.
With its sleek lines, low-drag aerodynamics, and 9-1/2 lb flying weight, its speed and vertical performance are truly spectacular. With the re design now proven and test flight completed we are happy to have replicated teh classical flying characteristics of this unique classic pattern plane.
The Double Eagle was specifically designed to reduce the major drag producers to a minimum. The basic wing section was chosen for its excellent high-speed/low induced drag characteristics. Also, its relatively thin airfoil section provides a mininum of frontal area drag. The mounting of the wing with its upper surface coincident with the top surface of the: fuselage. provides a smooth airflow transition and eliminates the traditional wing to fuselage buffet area which usuall can be only partially helped with transitional fillets. The wash-out in the wing, though primarily designed to enhance low-speed stability, provides a considerable contribition to a reduction in the induced drag during high-speed flight.

Short Kit Or Complete Airframe Kit?
A Short Kit includes a full size printed plan and all of the laser cut parts that are required as part of the complete airframe build.
Items such as wing ribs, dihedral joiners, fuselage formers & fuselage parts, doublers, bulkheads and so on.
Every part which is a complex cut is precisely laser cut as per the plan and included in the short kit. Some kits may also include vacuum formed ABS parts like canopies or cowlings.
With a Short Kit, the only items you need to add to the laser cut parts to build a complete airframe are components which are simply cut to length. Parts such as wing spars, wing sheeting or fuselage sheeting for example.
