Legal Eagle Flying Adventures

Saturday morning flight from T25 to Echo Lake private airstrip with circle and return. Legal Eagle XL ORV powered with the Verner 3V performed flawlessly as expected. Average speed was approximately 45 mph with fuel burn of 2.2 gallons per hour.

Beautiful evening, not a bump in site and very clear. The Verner 3V 3 cylinder radial took us into the air with ease and LEXL ORV and I enjoyed just looking at everything we could see in the distance and below. Great way to get above earth and join the birds.

I was talking to Leonard the other day and he mentioned a great way to keep the glue from sticking to the rib building fixture. Mark out where the gluing will take place on the board and then cover these areas with 2″ wide clear package ceiling tape. The glue does not stick to this tape. I have not tried this process yet but will so do in near future.

We are testing a mounting behind the machine, first video was no good because mount had excess up down and side to side movement. This video is better but I believe camera needs to be lowered so it is not behind wing so much. More to come.

Ultralight Fly-In at Aero Estates, T25 in Frankston, Texas, this is east texas, about 20 miles south west of Tyler Texas and 100  miles South East of Dallas.  There will be at least 2 Legal Eagles present.  Event starts at 9:00 a.m. We are having a Gumbo feed between 11:00 and 1:00.

FLY IN DATE SATURDAY JUNE 1st.

This is what I have been busy on for last few weeks. Setting up business, getting stock of materials and building up stock of for sale components. Now it is time to let the world know what is available. More parts and more good things to come.

For the Legal Eagle Builders or those thinking about building a Legal Eagle XL or UL some exciting news. More to come.

It has been a while since I have posted so getting things going again. I have finally been able to easily get in and out of ORV since getting Knee replaced in early December. Before Knee replacement the pain would get so bad i could hardly get ORV back in the hanger. Afterwards had to recoup and then get to where my knee movement was better and finally had to make some changes to ORV. A video will be forthcoming explaining and showing what has happened.
