Indy (Lions) Christen Eagle 2

Bipe ARF

With

Enya 90-4c Four stroke engine

and History lesson (below)

It will bring a heated debate when it comes to the make of this plane. EZ-Models had one that was almost identical as did Ok Models. This is a Indy Christen Eagle... The difference can be shown with these 2 simple things,

One the wingspan, this plane is unique in its size. The top wing is 49.5 inch or 1257.3 mm and the bottom wing is 46.5 inch or 1181.1 mm 43 1/2 inch long or 1104.9 mm.

Two, The canopy is tinted blue where the others were not!

This plane is spotless, yes it has been flown but was taken very good care of. It has some reinforcement added to the wing strut connections but it was preventive. Looking at the photos we added you can see it was built in the 80s yet it is rock solid and was done with much care.

Next the power plant...( 175.00 to 220.00 on ebay alone)

Enya 90-4c is what was selected to power this beauty. The motor looks and feels NEW! Possible a limited few flights, smooth bearings, strong compression, and very clean. The fuel lines are spotless showing it was flushed after flight. If you've been around these engines you can tell by good inspection how much and how hard a engine has been ran and how it was treated. This one passed all my test. It also has a remote igniter installed allowing the cowling to be un-cut for full scale effects. It has a huge cowling that allows massive air flow.

Even with this power the planes short airframe does not like being forced into the air. She likes to stretch her legs on the runway and ease up in the air. Being Gentle with the elevator until you develop a relationship with your plane is best. Setting the rudder at 1 1/2 to 2 inch and 1/2 on the elevator 3/8 on ailerons and dual rates at 70 to 75 percent and a little nose heavy to start will give you the opportunity you need. After that you can catch the sky on fire!!!

Below I decided to add some info I found on both the airframe and the engine I hope you enjoy the info...

Shipping.

Well we had to talk business sooner or later,

I will pack VERY well in a heavy box with much bubble wrap. It will also be insured but money will not replace this plane so its no time to skimp.

I ship plane allover the world we have a good track record doing so. To pack well you must pack big. I understand money is an issue but trust we never make a dime from it. Every cent goes to shipping or insurance. Since we will not pack the plane before purchase the actual size and weight is unknown but we can make a very good guess. What I am saying is shipping estimate may go up or down. But we always get very close.

We can provide as many images of the plane and will answer any questions you may have. This is truly a one of a kind this day and age.

Thank you Joe

enjoy the info below.

Also the scale size is 1/4.6

This plane (SCALE) has a rich history as does the Eagle 2

The Christen Eagle was designed by Frank Christensen, founder of Christen Industries. Frank was an aerobatic pilot and manager of the U.S. Aerobatic Team that won the 1972 World Aerobatic Championship.

The Christen Eagle I was built specifically for the Eagles Aerobatic Team. This single-place aircraft was never available in kit form, but used to promote the Christen Eagle line of aircraft. The model offered as a kit was the Christen Eagle II, the two-place version of the design. This aircraft represented a departure in several ways from previous kit planes designed for the homebuilding community.

The Eagle II combined professional design with factory quality parts. The resulting kit raised the bar for aircraft kit manufacturers. It was one of the most complete airplane kits ever marketed. Included in the Eagle’s kit were tools, jigs, factory welded assemblies, finished fiberglass moldings and a 30 volume set of construction and flight manuals; in short, all the parts, materials, and information necessary to build the Eagle, even for first-time builders.

The Eagle’s vibrant paint scheme was never intended for use beyond a few showcase prototypes. Despite the unusual difficulty of taping and applying the complicated pattern, the 8-color scheme was much in demand by homebuilders, and was soon included in the kit.

Eagle II

THE EAGLE IS A COMPREHENSIVE KIT

The Eagle II is a better homebuilt aerobatic aircraft than any other. It has become the standard by which all others are judged. Offering aerobatic flight in a two-place aircraft, the Eagle’s performance capabilities make it flyable in advanced aerobatic competition. Once you have seen its regal appearance, and have experienced its magnificent performance, it will become apparent why we called this model the Eagle.

The Eagle II is really much more than just a high-performance, two-place aerobatic airplane you can build at home. It is a whole new approach to homebuilt aircraft construction. Each of the 24 kits required to build the Eagle II contains a separate section of the aircraft, and every part, every piece is available now…today. Each section contains a comprehensive manual detailing the construction methods through diagrams and instructions.

The Eagle is not only available as a kit, it can also be assembled at the factory.

Design[edit]

Designed to compete with the Pitts Special by Frank Christensen originally of Salt Lake City,^[1] Utah, the Eagle II is marketed in kit form for, homebuilding. It set a new standard for completely documented homebuilding kits that revolutionized the homebuilding industry. The Eagle II is a small aircraft of conventional configuration with single-bay, equal-span staggered biplane wings braced with streamlined flying and landing wires and a I-strut to form a box truss. The pilot and a single passenger sit in tandem underneath a large bubble canopy. The tailwheel undercarriage is fixed, with the mainwheels mounted on spring aluminum legs. The main wheels are housed in streamlined fairings. The fuselage and tail are constructed of chromoly steel welded tube, with the forward fuselage skinned in aluminum and the rear fuselage and tail covered in fabric. The wing structure is Sitka spruce wood and fabric covered. The engine cowling is fiberglass. By 2011 over 350 aircraft were flying.^[2]^[3]

Operational history[edit]

Christen Eagle II

In 1979, the Eagles Aerobatic Team (Charlie Hillard, Tom Poberezny, and Gene Soucy) chose the Christen Eagle as a replacement for their Pitts Special airshow act "The Red Devils". The act continued until 1995. All three Christen Eagles hang from the lobby of the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.^[4]
