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.
