Been working on getting the fuselage back together after covering the front part of the fuselage with fabric along with painting it. I have decided that the worst part of this build for me is doing the Painting!!! I am to the point I have no patience for it and just want to get this […]
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been working on covering my tail parts of my Legal Eagle XL. I first had to do a lot of watching videos both from the XL video I got from Leonard and from youtube of course. I found so very good instructional videos covering the Stewart System […]

Using the elevator that I built per plans because the ones that came with the fuselage had a very wide gap between the two that I did not like and that do not match my plans (although I have seen others built that way – maybe older plans or original LE). I also needed to […]
Finally manage to get the tail section complete – at least all the framing part of it. At this time I probably will not use what I created since that was included with the frame/engine project I purchased but since I had started I did want to complete. The reason I am using the existing […]

I build to outside dimensions per the plans – that can be somewhat user interpreted but I really do not think it matters one way or another for […]
Ok, time to start doing something other than building the wings. going to move on the working on the tail section assembly and decided to break out the welder for the first time for this project and make the hinge parts for the rudder and elevator assemblies. This was a fairly straight forward process of […]
