28 Dec 11 - I have eventually completed the Eagle. After toying with making it convertible between power and slope use, I decided that it wouldn't be much lighter in slope guise. I therefore just fitted it with a folding propeller as that would help protect the motor when landing anyway. When slope flying I could fit a small LiPo further forwards which would lighten it, but it's unlikely to be necessary given the low wing loading.
