I have not added a post here for a while but I wanted to let everyone watching this blog know that my Legal Eagle XL is basically complete. I am in the process of running tests and learning how to fly it. I will post some pictures here.
There are still a couple of little things I need to do along with a few little things I have done to fix issues and make some improvements that I will probably post in the near future.
Looks really good. Can’t’ wait to see flight video.
Have some hope footage but not a full video yet – when weather warms up then hope to get some better footage.
Hello Chris,
I tried downloading the CAD files but the link is broken. Can you have a look at the link or email me directly? Thanks.
Plane looks great.

Not sure what was going on but link is good now.
Hello Chris, My name is Euller; I’m a brasilian, and I lookin your work to build this brilhant plane.
I have doubts… Do you use de 4130 in fuselage… whow others steals can be used? 1045? or other???
Thanks.
Euller
I used 4130 for everything per the plans. I think it may be possible to build with other metals but I would not know how structurally sound that would be. I know old airplane designs used to be built with metals like 1045 like the J3 Cub.
